[MPlayer-users] mplayer multicast start up behavior

Sun Dec 24 23:13:36 EET 2023

I reversed the parameters and now mplayer outputs repeating setup

Playing udp://239.1.2.3:4567.
STREAM_UDP, URL: udp://239.1.2.3:4567
Timeout! No data from host 239.1.2.3
udp_streaming_start failed
No stream found to handle url udp://239.1.2.3:4567
