Multicast streaming issues #291

Closed CRCinAU closed 6 years ago

CRCinAU commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to get a multicast stream to work with omxplayer.

I am using the following to transmit the multicast stream:

cvlc -v --loop "file://$1" --sout '#rtp{mux=ts, dst=224.0.0.37, sdp=sap, name="Multicast", port=12345}' --sout-keep --miface="enp12s0"

I can use VLC on other desktop PCs to open rtp://@224.0.0.37:12345 and video plays back.

I've tried just about everything I can think of to make this work - and sadly, Google is not helping.

1) Is multicast playback possible? if so; 2) How do you feed the right magic to omxplayer to make it work?
