Title: Multicast Streams
Post by: drtest on August 23, 2013, 07:53:53 AM

What is this exactly? Is it just used for media servers to stream content from a pc to an xbox or something? It isn't needed for netflix or general streaming from the internet or anything like that

It is needed for streaming from file servers an media services to devices and is recommended to enable it.
