It's been more than a year since my last unsuccessful attempt to sync
music between OpenBSD machines running vlc 0.8.6, but since vlc in ports
now is at 2.0.4, I've decided to give it another try.
First I start a server instance of vlc on some machine:
$ vlc -d <stream> --sout #standard{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.12.42}
and then I start a client instance of vlc on the same machine:
$ vlc -d udp://@239.255.12.42 --control netsync --netsync-master-ip <ip>
and I get sound on that machine. However, when I try to start a similar
client instance of vlc on another machine, I get no sound on that
machine.
I get the feeling that I'm missing out something about multicast, but
what? Routing table entries? Special pf-rules? What?
Finally: I have no problems running a vlc server instance with multiple
clients on different machines when using http encapsulation, but they
won't sync properly.
Ideas are appreciated!
