I want to create a dedicate server running Gentoo, with 4 Hauppauge pvr-500 http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products ... 00mce.html which means that I can have 8 tuners. The video server it will be VLC
As a STB I have SBOX 6100 of Stino http://www.stino.com/sbox/6100/6100.htm. It only reads mpeg2, so that must be the codec that I'll have to use.
I have several questions:
1.- How can I do to stream those channels?, I want to watch it through the STB and at a different computer.
2.- What do I have to do if I want to stream to the STB of my friend? How he has to configure the STB? I know that I have to do multicast, but I don't be sure of how. Because one day I was trying to stream a video, I put the VLC at two differents computers and then I started the streaming, both at the same IP 239.255.10.100, I only can watch one of them. That's OK but what I was thinking is that I was going to get an error...
3.- The last thing that I want to do it is that everytime I turn on the computer start streaming. For that I supposed that I'll have to do all in command line, right?
That's all for now.
Any help will be grateful
