psangster Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi I use VNC to send a Unicast UDP MPEG-TS across a network to a Windows XP workstation, on which i run DVBViewer & Transedit. All I do to receive the stream, is enter the destination ip:port into Transedit and scan it before watching in the preview window (or exporting to DVBViewer) However, since i swapped out the XP machine for a Windows 7 PC, this no longer works. The UDP packets are arriving at the workstation, but entering the IP address of the machine itself into Transedit (and port number) no longer picks anything up when this is scanned netstat -s on this windows 7 box is showing the UDP packets as received, but the stats indicate 'No Port', meaning no application is listening What can i do to fix this, as i don't want to live with XP forever? Multicast is not an option, i'm stuck with Unicast Many Thanks Quote Link to comment
Griga Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I use VNC to send a Unicast UDP MPEG-TS across a network to a Windows XP workstation VNC? You mean VLC? Which TransEdit version? Which Port? I wonder why it worked because up to now TransEdit only supports UDP Multicast, not Unicast. Hidden capabilities, even unknown to me? Strange. However, the next version will contain explicit UDP Unicast support. However, since i swapped out the XP machine for a Windows 7 PC, this no longer works. Disregarding the fact that it is not supposed to work: Maybe blocked by the Windows firewall? This is the most frequent cause. Quote Link to comment
psangster Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sorry, yes i meant VLC Transedit 3.9.6.0 Windows Firewall turned off Any port. I usually just send to port 1111. When can i get my hands on the new release?? Quote Link to comment
psangster Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Actually, i've found that any MPEG-TS sent as Unicast UDP can be picked up in Transedit by scanning any Multicast address, as long as the port number in the Multicast address matches the Port number of the Unicast Stream So another hidden capability. Lets call it Anycast! Quote Link to comment
