WLNet video is essentially a wrapper around unix utilities to provide an RTP audio and video stream to clients.

Early iterations of WLNet Video did not actually rely on RTP but instead streamed mpeg4 video and mp3 audio over UDP (two streams) to clients. Newer versions of WLNet Video are based on RTP (and soom SAP) to automate server discovery

Current Issues

  • Currently the RTP transport does not support setting the local address, which results in multicast traffic being sent to the entire network. This can be worked around by setting a route for RTP traffic, e.g. /sbin/ip route add 224.0.0.0/4 dev br0
