[Bug 757488] gst-rtsp-server: multicast functionality is broken

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

--- Comment #10 from Sebastian Dröge (slomo) <slomo at coaxion.net> ---
I checked the code a bit now. So, in alloc_ports_one_family() we are allocating
sockets and bind them to random ports. At a later time we get the multicast
transport, which has fixed ports (that are different than the random ones).

So I think we have three options here: either we allocate all ports in
update_transport(), or we don't share sockets between udpsrc and udpsink and
only allocate the receiver side in update_transport(), or we could check in
update_transport() if the existing udpsrcs are already listening on the right
port, and if they do only call g_socket_join/leave_multicast_group() on those
sockets instead of creating new sources.

I think I currently prefer the latter as it's least invasive


For your second question, what exactly do you mean?
