(File, Edit, View, Playback, Audio, Video)… There is no media menu choice…. In my VLC application there is no media menu… All I see is the standard menu setup …. As an example the first step in a post was to select the ‘Media’ menu. I downloaded VLC for use on a MAC Book Pro.

I have read the previous post and some other pages on how to setup VLC but all of the options or choices mentioned do not exist when I launch VLC…. I am really confused… I just downloaded VLC 2.2.1… The main purpose for the download was so I could setup lab testing for multicast network design… If you want to stream multiple videos, remember to choose an different multicast address and/or port Don’t forget to enter the symbol after “rtp://” and before the multicast ip address!

To view the stream, open another instance of VLC media player (try it on the same PC before trying it over the network) Then click Next for “Option Setup” and select “Stream all elementary streams” then click stream. Once the options are set, click “Save”.In video codec, I set the bitrate to 4000kb/s I had to set the options by clicking the options (screwdriver and spanner) button immediately to the right of the dropdown. In encapsulation, I chose MPEG-TS. In transcoding options, choose the appropriate settings for your video and PC’s codecs.In the “Address” box, enter the required multicast address (eg 239.255.0.1) and set the port (or leave default at 5004).In “Destinations”, choose “RTP /MPEG Transport Stream” and click the “Add” button.This opens the “Stream Output” dialog showing the source file you have chosen.At the bottom, click the “Stream” button.In the Open Media dialog file tab, click “add” and choose the file you want to stream and click “Open”.VLC media player can do this, but getting it working is not as trivial as I expected.
When testing networks and routing, it is sometimes useful to be able to send a number of multicast streams across the network.
