Full Version: udp multicast stream
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello,

Is there a way to display a udp multicast stream on XBMC for android with a url such as?

udp://227.2.0.0:1234
You can use the .strm file to display a udp multicast stream
Can you tell me how to open the .strm file? Does xbmc for android look fot this file extension?
I created a stream file with the following contents.

udp://227.6.0.15:1234/

I can open this file using xbmc for windows and xbmc for windows will play the udp stream.

However, when I open the file in xbmc for Android, I get an error dialog box. The dialog box says something like this:

"Playback failed.
One or more items failed to play.
Check the log file for details."

Here is the log file on paste bin.

Can anyone tell me what is going on from the log file?

(I am using version XBMC 14.0-ALPHA1 Git:20140512-af2d1b5)

For the record, page that explains .strm files.

FYI,

The problems I was having were on a GPad.

UDP Multicast streams played back as expected on a Nexus 7 tablet.
