we have a working satellite dish card connected to a pc in our network that is controlled by mikrotik pc server
the pc is using a program called dvbdream to navigate between satellite channels which also include an option to stream live to the local network using a protocol called UDP ts on port 1234
so..we decided that since our network range is 10.0.0.0/24 then the broadcat ip should be 10.0.0.255
so we started streaming to 10.0.0.255 on port 1234
but all the sudden the pc we broadcast from was blocked from internet access by mikrotik server so we stopped the streaming option on the dvbdream program and everything returned back to normal
the question is:
how to allow dvbdream to stream to all network without mikrotik blocking it?
if i am not mistaken, then set stream address (destination if you will) an address from 224.0.0.0/4 range something like 224.10.10.10 and set up multicast configuration on the router.
Sender – (subnet I) → Router A – (subnet II) → Router B – (subnet III) → Receiver
yukkkkkkkkkkkkkk
sorry for that but all i need is
Sender with dvbdream–> 1 Mikrotik Router → Receiver with vlc client
example:
where Sender uses an option of a program called dvbdream to send stream broadcast to ip 10.0.0.255 on udp port 1234 instead of ip 192.168.1.12 as shown in the photo, to reach all users of the entire network 10.0.0.0/24
where recievers uses vlc client to recieve the stream coming from 10.0.0.255 on udp port 1234
how to make mikrotik passes broadcast stream from a regular pc with ip 10.0.0.1 to ip 10.0.0.255 on a small local area network which is controlled by only one mikrotik hotspot server?
No, you should read up on the difference between multicast and broadcast.
Pick a multicast address, stream to that, subscribe all clients to that multicast group. Since this is local network only you don’t need to do anything on the router, the traffic will be switched on the broadcast domain.
You just need to learn how multicast on a local subnet works. The router isn’t involved at all.
