Description:Hi everybody,

I am trying to play a message to a multicast channel:

Dial (MulticastRTP/basic/239.255.1.1:5004,,A(demo-moreinfo))

I can talk to the channel but the message is never played:

Using SIP RTP CoS mark 5

Please capture and upload the multicast traffic here.

10.147.248.29 is the Asterisk.
10.151.248.21 is the phone calling.

Well I was talking to Russell, and he basically said if there is traffic in the capture (which I see), then the problem is a configuration issue on the phone listening to the multicast traffic.

I have this same issue on 1.8.1.1

Talking seems to transmit just fine over multicast without the A() option, so if the issue is on the listening phone side, then I would expect talking would fail as well.

Yes there is traffic in the capture but it's not the traffic caused by the A option. It's the traffic generated by the caller.

So, when dial a multicast destination with A option or not, the caller is always heard from the listening phone. It's not a configuration issue on the listening side. The fact is that you can't stream a file to the multicast channel.

Kind regards,
Yohann
