I read that VLC can be used to display a UDP stream from MiniT

I see in the MiniT INI file there is reference to UDP address and local IP address.

Could you please point me in the right direction as to what I need to set these IP addresses and how to use VLC to pick up this stream?

Hello,

in the minitioune .ini file you can find :

;=====================================================================
; adresse UDP / UDP address
[UDP]
;=====================================================================
AddrUDP=230.0.0.1
;AddrUDP=127.0.0.1
Port=1234

If your computer is linked to a Network ( Wifi or Ethernet, local network or Internet Network) you have a Net card that is presently working, so you can let the IP value 230.0.0.1

If your computer has no network running, you must use the virtual IP address : 127.0.0.1

You satr Minitioune. When you are receiving a Transport Sream (TS), you switch on the UDP button.
=> the TS is sent to the UDP address:port written in the .ini file.

Start VLC, click : Media ==> Open Network Stream
under "Enter a network URL" you write:
udp://@230.0.0.1:1234
or
udp://@127.0.0.1:1234 ( if you have written this in the .ini file)

you click play.

You will see the video decoded by VLC.

Thank you JP for your very quick reply.

This was exactly what I needed to get it working nicely.

You have put a lot of time and effort into the software and it's really appreciated by the many stations that use it.
