Prerequisites
- A working HD-BIT-T system.
- VLC installed on your machine.
route
andtcpdump
utilities installed.
Setting Up the Route
After setting up the VLAN interface, the next step is to add a route for multicast traffic. To do this, run the following command:
route add -net 224.0.0.0/4 dev vlan477
VLC Configuration
Once the route is configured, proceed to configure VLC:
- Open VLC and navigate to the media streaming options.
- Under "Show more options," add the following setting:
:network-iface=vlan477
Testing the Configuration
To test if you've successfully connected to the HD-BIT-T system:
- Use VLC to connect to the network URL:
udp://@239.255.42.44:5004
- Optionally, verify the multicast traffic by running:
tcpdump -i vlan477 ip multicast
