Hi,
I am trying to stream some multicast channels with vls and vlcs.
I am using the following configuration: vls vlc are installed on windows
2000 pro and vlcs is installed on redhat linux 8.0.
I am streaming mpeg-1 files from the video server on the multicast channels.
I was able to stream one program (mpeg-1 file) on the multicast channel, the
video LAN client has connected to the  vlcs on channel 1,  but I have tried
to stream another multicast stream on channel 2 but  the video client did
not receive the stream. The video server has started to run the second
multicast stream channel but it seems that the client did not recognize the
second stream. On the vlc when I have changed the channel number from 1 to 2
on  the vlcs has received the change request but the video LAN client did
not receive the stream. I have attached the configuration files of the vls,
maybe I am doing something wrong.

Appreciate your help

Best regards
