title: HELP: UDP broadcast vlc stream weirdness!
body: <p>Hi I'm trying using vlc to broadcast UDP stream within a LAN, Making it like a TV channel.</p>
  
  <p>I used command line to launch VLC which then vlc is ok to run = </p>
  
  <pre><code>cvlc --repeat filename.avi --sout '#standard{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.12.42:8001}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>problem is it works on some network, and I have problem receiving it on a network without router!</p>
  
  <p>Question: what is some magical about the address "239.255.x.x" ? what network hardware is require for UDP broadcast besides switches and cables? Does wireless can accept UDP broadcast?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your answers!</p>
