RTSP Multicast Scenario Setup

[Mario Montagud Climent]

Dear all,

I'm testing with the gst-rtsp-server (branch 1.2.3). In unicast mode,  
the provided examples work very nice (RTSP, SDP, RTP and RTCP)!  
However, I had no success with the multicast mode.

I've checked that in the provided multicast examples (e.g.,  
test-multicast) a multicast address pool is created. So, my question  
is: how can I launch a multicast client that will receive the RTP  
stream/s through one of the configured multicast addresses?

At the client side I run: ./test-multicast, and at the receiver side  
(different machines) I run:  gst-launch-1.0 -v rtspsrc  
location="rtsp://ip_rtsp_server:8554/test" ! rtph264depay ! avdec_h264  
! autovideosink

The audio/video streams are played out (also using VLC). However, I  
can only see unicast RTP/RTCP packets in Wireshark, and I want a  
shared multicast stream (224.x.x.x) for the different clients, what am  
I doing wrong?

I've tried by setting mcast-iface=ethX and  
protocols=GST_RTSP_LOWER_TRANSP_UDP_MCAST properties in rtspsrc, but  
no success!

I've also tested a multicast scenario with VLC and it works, so I  
guess it is a problem of my network.

I would really appreciate your feedback!

Best Regards,

Mario
