Hi I have an IPTV system (Mediastar Evolution) and I am able to stream direct from the encoders to VLC player via UDP://@239.192.x.x:1234. I would love to be able to directly stream this feed to vMix without having to take the stream and trans-code again to RTSP via VLC. Please see attached image of the encoder stream settings. Many thanks jimmyping attached the following image(s):  mediastar encoder stream settings.PNG (56kb) downloaded 16 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments. Try to login or register.

Many thanks, I have studied this doc...
I am entering:
rtsp://10.0.72.1/stream1
Note: the vMix server and encoder are sitting on the same data switch. Also the RTSP code behind the hyperlink on the encoder page is the same.
Thanks

The UDP address is multicast. I have been asking for this for quite a while now. If we could get multicast in and out, it would open up a whole bunch of other projects! For example - Every professional DVB decoder puts out a multicast stream.
We need everyone to support multicast I/O. I really don't think that it should be that difficult, I do it all day with FFMPEG.
We have to use FFMPEG to convert our multicast to unicast just for vMix.
Best,
Steve

Hi Steve
I agree vMix could support multicast inputs. BTW it's really easy nowadays to (auto)convert multicast streams for vMix ingest using NDI with VLC NDI plugin.
It's also very easy to use vMix External virtual devices or NDI to feed VLC or FFMPEG or any other encoder for multicast streaming. Due to GPU encoding restrictions on GTX cards, I find it even more convenient not to multicast from vMix as I can at the same time stream RTMP and record via NVENC + multicast locally or on another NDI compatible PC.
My 2 cts...
Guillaume
PS : please indicate your feature request post url for Multicast UDP, I might +1 it anyway

Thanks Guillaume, Here is one, but the general discussion group has also had conversations about it. Yes the vlc/NDI is another way to do it, but again it is another process. :-( I just got a copy of the NewTek NDI Connect Pro and looking at using it also, but blowing these streams up into a big ones (NDI) is not the most efficient. http://forums.vmix.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=6869
Best, Steve

As I say sometimes, vMix is a wonderful tool, but it's not a swiss army knife anyway (and that's fortunate imho)
Besides, if vMix can do everything "fingers in the nose", even very special projects where real technical knowledge is required, what will we do for a living? The ability to build "complex" streaming workflows is a way to make money for many people including me.
Yes NDI needs bandwidth but with a decent gigabit network you have at least 7 or 8 FullHD stream capacity. Need more? Add a USB3/PCI network card, re-think your network design and use Windows routing feature...
Bien à toi,
Guillaume
