I deinstalled and unregistered the Moonlight UDP Streaming Player and filters.
Then I installed Elecard MPEG2 Player (v1.35) and registered it's filters
(I also reregistered dvprtp.ax).
If I try to open the URL "moonlight://224.0.1.2:5002/rtp" with the Elecard
MPEG2 Player I get this error: "Cannot play back the file '' it has unsupported
format". If I try to open the URL "rtp://224.0.1.2" I get the error "Unsupported
type of internet service: 'rtp://224.0.1.2' ".
Some suggestions what I could try? Do I use the wrong URL?

(I have done:
export DVBVL_DEST="224.0.1.2"
export DVBVL_PORT="5004"
/sbin/route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth1
before I started vdr and streaming.)

Yes, but none is working.

Yes. You mean this is the reason why I need the route?


An other question: In the OSD streaming menu:
What does "Stream 1 Active" mean? I activate streaming with
button <F1> and I always set "Stream 1 Active" to "yes". Maybe
this is wrong?
