Mcast-plugin

Beschreibung

Autor: Bernardo Cardoso

Description: This is an example that shows how a plugin can multicast
the the network the same channel that VDR is tunned to. It is a crude
proof-of-concept based on the status plugin and some other code.

It has a lot of hardcoded stuff, e.g. the SID is allways 1024, and
only the first audio pid is streamed.

The multicast ip the port and the interface to use must be configured
with a file in the mcast file located in plugin directory, each
parameter in one line. Example /video/plugin/mcast file:
224.0.0.1
1234
192.168.0.1

This stream can be watched with VLC using a URL like:
udp://@224.96.96.1:1234

That's all.
