This must be possible ......
I'm generating UDP DVB (mpeg 2) video on a linux box like this :
process1) tzap -r -c /etc/channels.conf "BBC ONE"
process2) cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 |socat -b1024 - "UDP4-DATAGRAM:224.0.0.1:5000,broadcast"
Then from any other linux machine on the LAN I can use :
"mplayer -cache 2048 "udp://:5000"
And bingo, I have a nice stream of mpeg 2 video in 1k Byte chunks ... all fine and dandy.
But after hours of poking at XBMC (11) I can't seem to find a cryptic rune to enter into XBMC "Add Videos" menu to do this.
Am I just missing something or is the UDP functionality missing/ not working ? Sure it worked on my old xbox:
I tried
udp://:5000
udp://0.0.0.0:5000
Am I missing something or can I not do this ? Thanks, Jon
