Hello,
i just get VDR working. I defenitly wanted to multicast the signals over
my local network at home.
Is there a possibility to multicast the data with VDR and do i have to install
a special plugin?? And what a kind of software shut i use to receive the multicast.
I have a little experience with vclan.
Please let me know because i can use some good tips about this.
Cheers
Hi,
I think the streamdev plugin is what you are searching for.
What OS will be used on the clients?
Some links for streaming clients (but german):
http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Streaming
also have a look at the xine plugin or softdevice for linux based machines.

Hi there,
is there also a English site that you know?
On the client side i wanted to use vlc in windows.
I hope there is a possibility to do the streaming-client
in windows.
But i first have to install the streamdev-plugin.
I thought that i also saw a option in the menu named "Remote client"
but i can't find it anymore! Does anybody know where i can find it?
I already checked the menu many times and it's not there anymore.

for multicast TV transmissions xineliboutput is the one you are looking for. Sources are located at this site:

Hi maffioso,
I doubt that it's worth to look for an English translation of that page. The streaming server plugin does not seem to support IP-Multicast. From the given page I got the impression that it only supports data delivery through http-channels. That would duplicate network traffic if two clients receive the same channel.
I'm also interested in multicast to deliver radio stations or playback of a m3u-playlist to several clients in my flat.
The disadvantage of HTTP- (unicast) streaming is, beyond waste of bandwidth, that there's a different delay for each client. If you have several clients in a separate rooms it's rather annoying to listen to the same music with different delays.
I guess it's still the case with multicast streaming, but much less as there's only the receiving buffer that introduces the variation in playback delay.
There's a multicast plugin, which is just a demonstration and proof of concept. However it may give you an idea how to modify/amend the streaming server plugin.
Cheers Jo
<edit> download address for mcast-plugin: http://deela.cc.fh-lippe.de/files/vdr-mcast/ </edit>
Oke jol,
that's very good information. I installed the streamdev-server
and now i know what you mean with the delays. It's really annoying
and i pulls a lot of resources out of my CPU.
Is the mcast-plugin ready for multicasting a hole transponder-group?
Cheers
Does anyone also knows where you have to configure
the mcast-plugin because i installed the plugin and i already
started the plugin with vdr: ./vdr -Pxineliboutput -Pmcast
everytime when i try to ask the configurations for this plugin
with setup-->plugin-->mcast then there appears a green message
that says:no configuration setup initialized?
Anybody an idea what i can do about this. The readme-file are saying
not much.
They say something about the /video/plugins/mcast file but i doesn't
work for me. Please some opinions?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Sorry,
the error-message is:this plugin has no setup-parameters.
Can somebody please help me with this?
I' am quit new in this stuff but i would very likely multicast the channels.
Cheers
