[MPlayer-dev-eng] Suggestion: Why not use SO_REUSEADDR for -udp-slave ?

[Barry Staes]

Hi devs,

I have been reading udp_sync.c and i wonder why get_udp() is not using the
SO_REUSEADDR<http://code.metager.de/source/s?defs=SO_REUSEADDR&project=mplayer>
option
when establishing the listening socket.

AFAIK: this would allow multiple instances of MPlayer to receive UDP
broadcast messages. Thus enabling running multiple slave instances in sync
on one computer running Windows or *NIX.

Is there a reason SO_REUSEADDR is not used?
