Hi
is it possible to stream from multiple sources at the same times here is the setup i want:
there are about 100 speakers (streaming their audio and vide) and there would be a mains server to which clients can connect and watch the stream , im looking somekind of mountpoint thing (like in icecast) in vlc is it possible?




100 speakers -----> Main Server ------> Client (can connect to any of the speakers)

You want to do 100 source streaming live at the same time ?

You want to do 100 source streaming live at the same time ?

you would need a darn good CPU to do that

there would be 100 speakers with their own labtops streaming to the main server (due to bandwidth reason the main server will act as a proxy between the clients and the speakers the main server will fetch only the stream from 100 clients and forward it to the clients

so instead of
Speaker No 1(bit slow connection) <-------- (clients)

will be:
Speaker No 1(bit slow connection) <--------> Main Server (High bandwidth connection) ---------------> (Clients)

im doing this only for bandwidth reasons and that would be the best setup in my opinion

instead of directly connecting to the speaker clients can make multiple connections to the server but the server will only make a single connection to the Speaker

Where is done the transcoding ?

By Every Speaker

Then it should be doable with some VLM configuration.

Hi guys
I have tried to stream to icecast with no success...

I need to transcode 3-4 wma internet streams to mp3 and send them to my icecast server.
(Convert wma to mp3 and stream it to IceCast)

here is an example http://kissfm.live24.gr/kiss2111 this is wma
I tried in windows using the latest vlc with these options
:sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=48,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:std{access=shout,mux=ogg,dst=demo1@85.17.146.158:8000/demo}

I also tried this as I read in a post something about mp3=1 option to be able to stream...
:sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=48,channels=2,samplerate=44100,aenc=ffmpeg}:std{access=shout{mp3=1, bitrate=48, samplerate=44100, channels=2},mux=ogg,dst=demo1@85.17.146.158:8000/demo}

I can't tell why stream does not go to icecast, If I try to stream in local http via vlc it works fine.

Please be so kind and help me out as I see no future in this
I even waited a couple of minutes as I read to another post that it takes a few minutes to begin the stream out to icecast server...

Kind regards
