Yes, I have multiple Raspberry Pi devices each streaming 1-2 multicast H264 streams. I then have a machine that uses multiple ffplay instances to view all the streams at the same time (tiled across two monitors), and another machine that uses ffmpeg to capture all the streams and record them to disk. I originally was using IPv6 multicast, but had to return back to IPv4 because there is an old Cisco switch in the middle of my network that does not support MLD snooping properly, so I either get the multicast streams forwarded to every device (even if it does not want the stream) swamping them with too much traffic, or IPv6 breaks completely because neighbour-discovery messages are not forwarded. But going back to IPv4 with IGMP snooping works well. Once I eventually upgrade that switch I'll go back to IPv6 again.
