[MPlayer-users] UDP IPv6 Streaming

[Dimitri Tassetto]

Hi all,
I would like to receive an IPv6 UDP multicast stream using MPlayer but,
wheater I use the official debian package or a self-compiled one with
"enable-inet6" as configuration option, I get the error "Couldn't resolve
name". Is IPv6 UDP streaming supported? I started to doubt when looking at
the code I've not found in "stream/udp.c" any reference to the usage of IPv6
addresses and IPv6 sockets, whereas I found them in "/stream/tcp.c".
Here is the log:

$ mplayer -V udp://[ff05::1]:1234
