Good day, I have setup streams before though only via HTTP - however I would like to stream onto my webserver, which would then retransmit to anyone viewing a specific page. Is this possible?
Ive tried reading up on the subject, however it appears rather vague.
Best Regards!
Steam onto a webserver
Re: Steam onto a webserver
If I understand correctly, you want to stream TO a http daemon, then have the http daemon provide that stream to clients viewing a particular page.
The problem here is that you can't really stream to an IP address using http. The protocol is an inbound one, i.e. you make a connection to a listening http daemon, and tell it what you want it to give you.
That being said, this is not really an issue with VLC. You might be able to achieve a 'mirror' of the original http stream via use of a server-side scripting language (such as PHP or ASP) on the webserver which, on behalf of the client, would connect to your vlc http listener, request the stream, then fill the page with the results.
