Note, that you can only use hostnames in the GUI, the settings file requires IP addresses. In the settings you can use furthermore IPv6 addresses, RFCOMM, and automatic bootstrap modules.

    121 for running the automatic broadcast based bootstrapping module. Note, that a client does only broadcast its bootstrap information if the module is enabled, and can only receive the information if the module is enabled. Just using it on one machine does not make sense, you have to use it on multiple machines.

Just using it on one machine does not make sense, you have to use it on multiple machines. The mdns plugin is normally the method of choice, broadcast generates quite a lot of broadcast packets (every some second) in the network but reacts much faster than mdns. The sdp plugin is used if you are using Bluetooth RFCOMM connections.

     258Currently there are some limitations that are work in progress:
     259 * connection problems, especially when running multiple instances on the same machine
     260 * mobility does not always work if you change networks
     261 * currently only TCP support, we will provide UDP streaming soon
     262 * if the modules are not loaded in VLC, make sure you have set the {{{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}} correctly to the ariba libraries
     263 * if some ports are blocked in your network connections will fail
     264 * sometimes sockets are kept open, try to use a different local port
