I have done lan broadcasting. But there is an error. I can see video but there is no sound. Can anyone help?
Sorry for bad english.

you should select the audio track from vlc if you use channels that has multi audio pid

VLC ـــــــــــــــ> Audio ــــــــــــــ>Audio Track ــــــــــــ>then select the language you use

Can HDTV feed be transmitted as well without any freezes?

try to do this in VLC
so this:
Open the preferences
Tick advanced in the lower right corner
Go to "Input/Codec"
Go to "other codecs" subcategory
Go to "FFmpeg"
Put the "skip-filter for H264" to all
Restart VLC



and it will work well

Already done this. No sound too. I have SPDIF connection with hi-fi. Is there an error with spdif?

I did exactly as the post #1 said, but VLC doesn't work right. Does anybody know what codec it needs to make it work? The stats page shows that it is receiving the stream, but then does nothing with it. Obviously, it needs a codec that I don't have.

Hi
Any news about vlc "no audio" problem?
I can't use 1.3c because I am on win2k8 server and it doesn't work
1.4i works fine but vlc gets no audio in streaming
Thanks

Hi!
I've got a problem with broadcasting to all computers in tle network 255.

My IP adres is 192.168.2.100
Mask 255.255.255.0
Getaway 192.168.2.1

In DD when i set 192.168.2.101 (my Laptop) and in VLC udp://@:1234 it is OK
But when i try to broadcast to all 192.168.2.255 the VLC under udp://@:1234 don't play anything.

Can someone help me ?

I think network broadcasting isnt supported in some network hardware (most of new hardware)
maybe you can find some setting in hardware configuration
also you might need to check your firewall configuration on the server/client PCs

rel i did a simple test on my win 7x64 runin DD and other computer XP runin newest VLC as client for udp broadcast results are somewhat srtange

Win7 ip 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast address 192.168.2.255
Setting up DD 1.7a to stream to lan broadcast address (192.168.2.255 port 1234 )and connecting from VLC on XP box (using udp:// no play packet monitoring tool shows no udp broadcast packets coming in

Setting up DD to stram on 127.0.0.1 port 12345 and restreaming this via VLC (source udp://127.0.0.1 ) to lan broadcast (192.168.2.255 port 1234) result perfect paly on client workstation same connection URI

BTW Firewall disabled on both mashines during test couse XP SP2 and later tend to drop any broadcast trafic

additional note source URI for local VLC MUST be without port as specyfying it with port causes an eror in opening stream

[Likvid]

Don't use broadcast address when streaming from DD as it will use more resources on your LAN, instead of like 192.168.1.255 use a multicast address like 224.0.0.1 when streaming, then configure your hosts to listen to 224.0.0.1 and it works fine.

Thank you for your great efforts.
I just want to ask when I an broadcasting a multiple pips (Multiple channel) how can the client choose between the two channel (The client is a VLC program).

Hello,

I manage to have this feature working but I wondered if the same could be done with a Linux Stb as client ?

If it can, could someone please let me know how the service should be written ?
I tried with Dreamset to add a non-TS channel service with the "192.168.x.x:1234" but it doesn't result anything positively...

Thank you in advance if you can help

Hi there,

I thought to ask again if someone knows...

[rel]

about using linux STB as client:
You need to ask in STB software communities.
I guess you can install VLC on them? VLC supports UDP TS so works fine on DD.
you need a software that can take in UDP TS as input.
