How to relay streams with VLC?

Postby burek » 17 Nov 2010 20:33

Hi,

Simply, how to relay a stream (audio/video, doesn't matter) with VLC, _without_ transcoding (to save cpu)?

Example: If we have a video/audio stream, on the internet, and we want to relay that stream to our LAN users (for example), so that they don't have to connect to the internet, in order to listen/watch that stream, instead they just have to connect to our VLC, again, without transcoding.

See attached diagram for more info.

you should be able to "relay it" without transcoding if you use a muxer which supports the codecs of the

The GUI might be helpful for setting it up: media -> streaming -> Network ...(setup output).
