All things related to multicast

[Anibal Vega-Montijo <>]

Hi Frank,

I usually set the ttl to 127 so the packet can do lot more hops until it reach its destination. If someone that is  more than 25 hops away form you the stream will not show up.

Hi, appreciate the feedback.

I have ttl set to 25.

What is a good setting?

Also, I have a PC here that picks up only audio in VLC. Is a h.264 decoder included in VLC, or do you need QT installed and then it uses its decoder?

Somewhere I thought I read that VLC cannot always decode H.264, but I might have been imagining things.

Thanks,

Frank

 Hi,

Here in Moscow it seems, that I could see only audio flow, without video.

Also from the router I could see, that there are not too much packets in

the flow.

Probably TTL is too small for video packets?

Have a long way to go...Can anyone receive this?

In VLC, open network, HTTP> http://136.244.12.62/mc/h264fmc.sdp

in QT Player, File Open URL, same as above or

http://136.244.12.62/mc/h264fmc.mov

The stream is H.264 over 233.88.214.140, ports a=9000, v=9002
