10.1. Stream in IPv6 |
You will need an IPv6-aware operating system, like
Linux 2.4.21 with the ipv6 module loaded, Windows
XP Service Pack 1 or Mac OS X version 10.2 or higher. Please look at the
features pages on the VideoLAN web
site to know about the status of IPv6 in VLC and VLS for each
O.S
. |
 |
If you are using VMware under Linux, you will have
to stop VMware and unload the VMware kernel modules, because we noticed
it prevented IPv6 streaming

10.1.1. Stream with VLC
% vlc -vvv video1.xyz --ipv6 --sout udp:[ff08::1] --ttl 12
|
where
: video1.xyz
is the file you want to stream (you can also put
dvdold:/dev/dvd to stream a DVD or any other input
configuration)
, ff08::1
is either
: 12
is the value of the TTL (Time To
Live) of your IP packets (which means that the stream will be
able to cross 11 routers)
.
|
Under Unix/Linux, you may have to protect the square
brackets around the IPv6 address
:
% vlc -vvv video1.xyz --ipv6 --sout udp:\[ff08::1\] --ttl 12
|
|
|
You may have to specify the output network
interface
:
% vlc -vvv video1.xyz --ipv6 --sout udp:[ff08::1%eth0] --ttl 12
|
where eth0 is the name of the
network interface (under Linux the network interfaces
are named ethX, under Mac OS X it's
enX and under Windows it's X,
where X is the appropriate number)
. |
10.1.2. Stream with VLS
You will need to use the configuration
file vls.cfg. Please, see the VLS user guide to know how to
write one for IPv6 streaming in unicast or multicast
