They surely have their own reasons when setting up this mechanism for determining the IP address, but its quite unusual.
With multiple network cards, you may have some issues. What I suggest: - Open the UDP port 15947 (the one live555 will use, hardcoded) in the firewall of the computer if enabled - Add the following route route add -host 228.67.43.91 dev eth0 on the correct interface (228.67.43.91 is the multicast IP address used by live555, hardcoded) From: live-devel-boun...@ns.live555.com [mailto:live-devel-boun...@ns.live555.com] On Behalf Of JD Sent: dimanche 28 novembre 2010 06:55 To: live555 devel list Subject: [Live-devel] Questions about live555 media server When I run the media server, it says it is unable to determine my ip address: ------------------------------------------ $ live555MediaServer LIVE555 Media Server version 0.42 (LIVE555 Streaming Media library version 2010.04.09). Play streams from this server using the URL rtsp://0.0.0.0:8554/<filename> where <filename> is a file present in the current directory. Each file's type is inferred from its name suffix: ".aac" => an AAC Audio (ADTS format) file ".amr" => an AMR Audio file ".m4e" => a MPEG-4 Video Elementary Stream file ".dv" => a DV Video file ".mp3" => a MPEG-1 or 2 Audio file ".mpg" => a MPEG-1 or 2 Program Stream (audio+video) file ".ts" => a MPEG Transport Stream file (a ".tsx" index file - if present - provides server 'trick play' support) ".wav" => a WAV Audio file See http://www.live555.com/mediaServer/ for additional documentation. Unable to determine our source address: This computer has an invalid IP address: 0x0 Unable to determine our source address: This computer has an invalid IP address: 0x0 Unable to determine our source address: This computer has an invalid IP address: 0x0 ---------------------------- That is indeed strange. Can it not use at least 127.0.0.1 ? Also, when I try to play a file: $ ffplay 'rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/f/tmp1/01-Invocation_(Sri_Rudram_Lagunyasam).wav' the playback is so horribly slow, with long silence between each 2 seconds of sound, that it makes me wonder if this stream server can even function across the real internet at reasonable speeds - when it does not even provide sufficient speed when it's client is on the same machine. Am I doing something wrong here?? Also, how do I subscribe to the mailing list?
