Hello,=0D
=0D
I tried to figure out how to do multicast videos the last few hours but I
still don=B4t know.=0D
=0D
I managed to do unicast and it worked but how has the config to look like
for multicast?=0D
=0D
This is the example entry from the config file:=0D
=0D
BEGIN "multicast"                        # multicast example=0D
  Type    =3D "multicast"=0D
  DstHost =3D "239.2.12.42"                # multicast address=0D
  DstPort =3D "1234"                       # destination port=0D
END=0D
=0D
What I don=B4t understand is the IP address. I thought the clients can "j=
oin
and go" when they want.=0D
What IP I have to enter when I run a mulicast server and how to configure=
 it
correctly? So that let=B4s say all people from the IP addresses 192.168.0
1-192.168.0.100 could join?=0D
Maybe I am just too silly but help would really be appreciated a lot.=0D
=0D
Thank you so much!
