veejay -V (multicast frame sender) broken/removed ?

[d-j-a-y]

( still a reference here in getops https://github.com/c0ntrol/veejay/blob/master/veejay-current/veejay-server/veejay/veejay.c#L629 )

if removed, how to rewrite that part 453-network ?

I think, only the commandline option was removed, veejay can still do multicast frame sending - There is a VIMS message to enable/disable this

The only VIMS multicast related seems to be 246 'Open UDP multicast as new input stream' but I'm sure you are thinking to something else .... isn't it ?
edit : I think I found VIMS 022 & 023 (Start/Stop built-in UDP mcast server (YUV planar)) ... isn't ?

Also in the 4.5.3 network UDP example, i don't get what initial video source is cast ... can you explain ?
edit I found in VIMS section :-) cab734d

In fact VIMS 22 & 23 "doesn't work" if veejay was not started with -V option
E: start veejay in multicast mode (see -V commandline option) vj-event.c L9106

Yes, this is correct. Veejay needs a multicast address to broadcast on. We can change this, so that the user passes the broadcast address to the VIMS command, e.g: 22:224.0.0.0;
