Maybe. All unit tests for tst_QUdpSocket are passing on my Windows 10, indicating normal multicast is working. Anyway, binding to the multicast address is wrong. You shouldn't ever do that. You just join the multicast group that you wanted to. But that actually might be the issue: because of the multicast, you need to specifically choose the address family at bind time: if your multicast address is IPv6, bind to AnyIPv6; if it's IPv4, bind to AnyIPv4. Linux is capable of receiving IPv4 multicast on an IPv6 socket, but that feature is not usually present in other OSes. If that doesn't fix the issue, can you make a simple example for what fails for you? I need to test what's wrong. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
