Module for the VLC media player leveraging AMT functionality

This is the repository used to develop an AMT access module for VLC. This module has been merged into the mainline branch of VLC 4.0.0 and can be used by downloading any 4.0.0 nightly build of VLC after Nov 11, 2019 from https://nightlies.videolan.org/

The precompiled binaries in this repository are posted for historical purposes. It is recommended to use mainline VLC code.

The easiest way to start using AMT is to visit the Multicast Menu. On that site, known active MBONE streams are listed. You can launch VLC directly from your web browser, or follow the instructions to open a stream from VLC either the command line or GUI.

To use:

  • Open VLC
  • File->Open Network or Control-N
  • In URL, type out the stream you want with the following format: 'amt://[source_addr]@[group_addr]'
    • The source_addr parameter is optional and only used for SSM.
    • The group_addr is always required.
    • source_addr, group_addr or the AMT relay can use a FQDN defined in DNS

Some known working streams to try out include:

If you need to change/input the relay address, go to VLC->Preferences->Show all->Input/Codecs->Access Modules->AMT and change the address. The default relay is amt-relay.m2icast.net, which currently maps to three DNS A records (162.250.137.254, 162.250.136.101 and 198.38.23.145). The first AMT relay to return a packet is selected as the relay.

amt-vlc's Issues

ASM not working on windows build

In windows build, must specify the source address- only specifying the group address does nothing. This is not the case in the Mac build, as SSM and ASM both work fine.

Need a portal to make it easy to find active multicast streams

Need a way to list active multicast streams that can be viewed with this VLC build using AMT. A python script already exists that finds all the active multicast streams on the I2 routers:

https://github.com/willzhang05/senior-research

An example of the results can be found here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/willzhang05/senior-research/master/logs/results.txt

Need to take these results and populate a portal that users can easily click on and launch this VLC build and view these streams with AMT. Ideally, the portal would be a webpage where users can click on the streams and launch VLC. If that's not possible, at least populate a VLC playlist library with this content (like one of the "Internet" sites like Jamendo and Icecast).

Whitespace around FQDN for AMT relay causes failure

If the FQDN for the AMT relay address in the preferences pane has leading or trailing white space, VLC will be unable to open the multicast stream (presumably because name resolutions of the relay fails). This can happen when copying/pasting the FQDN.

Would there be a way to trim whitespace?
