[Live-devel] RTSP UDP multicast Streams and RTP video and audio on the same port

[Brent Hunsaker]

I have been using the 0.8.2 version of VLC for Windows.  I have been 
trying to get this VLC client which uses your RTSP library to properly 
communicate with our RTSP Server so that I can use RTSP to start UDP 
multicast streams.  The VLC client will start the stream OK but it can't 
play the video and eventually crashes.

It seems that this only works using VOD unicast RTP streams.  I have 
successfully run the VLC Server and Client on different machines and 
gotten a VOD stream.  However changing the output from vod to broadcast 
does not seem to work either.  Is this by design or am I missing 
something?  The command I send the VLC RTSP Server are:

new channel broadcast enabled
setup channel input Cool.mpg
setup channel output #standard{access=udp,url=237.237.11.11:5011}

Also I am wanting to stream video and audio on the same port.  I read in 
the FAQ that separating the streams is by design.  Does that mean that 
the library only works with separate streams and that combining them 
under RTSP is not possible?

Thanks for the help,
