I use the live library for my master thesis project and encountered the following problem. Everytime when I receive two different streams over multicast these two streams get merged. I have two different senders which use different multicast addresses but the same port number.

That's your problem - or, more precisely, the problem with your OS. Some OS's (including some versions of Linux) have a bug whereby incoming packets addressed to different multicast addresses, but the same port number, are not distinguished.

The solution is simple: Use different port numbers, as well as different multicast addresses.
