All things related to multicast

["Richard Mavrogeanes" <>]

The example I provided is a bit dated, and I *think* I intentionally
filter out non-VBrick streams in this case because there is a lot of
incompatible "crap" out there that can cause a player to crash. I'll be
taking a closer look at available SAPs in the I2, it's been awhile.  I
seem to recall that several did not do a very good job with the string
compression in the SDP. The last thing I want to see is a "Click Here To
Play" -- and when you click either nothing happens or you crash and
burn!

Yes, we have OSX and Linux support today.

Hi Richard, thanks again for clarifying issues,  when you must be  
real busy...

Nice examples below. I was wondering why the SAPs from our Visionary  
Solutions MPEG2 and H.264 streams don't show, when they do in VLC,  
and the streams are active.
Are you just filtering through VBrick streams, or do you think  
something is non-standard with the Visionary Solutions SAPs?
I find the same situation in your nice VideoAlive stand-alone Windows  
player.

Any thoughts on developing one that also runs on OSX?

Thanks,
