[Live-devel] How to test the RTSP Multicast server ?

[gxichun at 163.com]

I want to test the multicast RTSP server with the third-part tools
,eg.RealPlayer or Mplayer ,etc.
When I started up the testMpeg1or2VideoStreamer  programs in the
command-line environment, oh!the system outputs the running information
correctly,but when I open the url and receive the RTSP stream with the
Mplayer,problem is comming.
I didn't know how to do next. 
Some individual information about my Operating System :
RedHat 9.0 with 2.4.20-8 Kernel 
No Router in the Lan except an ADSL Modem and an 8-ports Switch
Playing url I used on Mplayer : rtsp://239.255.42.42:8888 (correctly?)

Puzzle:
What's wrong with me? Hardware ,software or others? perhaps this test
programme is not suit for my lan? Can't local machine receive the
multicast stream?or can't the multicast stream be forwarded because no
router support in my lan ? but all I did happened on a same local
host,it seems that router is useless. 
 Any advice is great! thanks!
