Hi John,
Thank you very much for your advice. It worked out perfectly. Since I am
trying to understand the theory of what I am doing I still have a few
questions:
1. While listening to my stream, I sniffered the packets with "Etherpeek"
and found out that there was a direct TCP connection between the server and
the client. This would mean that it was unicast, wouldn't it? If yes, is
multicast possible with MP3 playlists?
2. Now I am also trying to stream a film? Is here relyaing necessary? What
is the default port for video streaming?
Thank you very much again!
Regards,
