Connecting VLC to an HD-BIT-T System using a vLAN
Introduction
Connecting VLC to an HD-BIT-T system requires setting up a vLAN and configuring a multicast route. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.

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
Making the Route Persistent
To make the route persistent across system reboots, you can add a static route to the NetworkManager connection profile for the VLAN interface.
- First, find the name of the NetworkManager connection that corresponds to your VLAN interface.
nmcli con show
- Assuming the connection name is
vlan477
, add the static route:
sudo nmcli con modify "vlan477" +ipv4.routes "224.0.0.0/4"
- Apply the changes:
sudo nmcli con down "vlan477" && sudo nmcli con up "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
