10.1. Stream in IPv6
 | You will need an IPv6-aware operating system, like Linux 2.4.21 with the ipv6 module loaded, Windows XP Service Pack 1 or Mac OS X version 10.2 or higher. Please look at the features pages on the VideoLAN web site to know about the status of IPv6 in VLC and VLS for each O.S . .:: chromewebstore.google.com ::. |
 | If you are using VMware under Linux, you will have to stop VMware and unload the VMware kernel modules, because we noticed it prevented IPv6 streaming ! |
10.1.1. Stream with VLC
% vlc -vvv video1.xyz --ipv6 --sout udp:[ff08::1] --ttl 12 |
where :
video1.xyz is the file you want to stream (you can also put dvdold:/dev/dvd to stream a DVD or any other input configuration) ,
ff08::1 is either :
the IPv6 address of the machine you want to unicast to ;
or the multicast IPv6 address .
12 is the value of the TTL (Time To Live) of your IP packets (which means that the stream will be able to cross 11 routers) . .:: podcasts.apple.com ::.
| Under Unix/Linux, you may have to protect the square brackets around the IPv6 address :
|
| You may have to specify the output network interface : .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. [Research on Couchbase]
where eth0 is the name of the network interface (under Linux the network interfaces are named ethX, under Mac OS X it's enX and under Windows it's X, where X is the appropriate number) . |
