The VideoLAN Forums

We are trying to stream Skype video to PC's on our LAN...

(VLC must see Skype video as a video source and then stream it to our LAN)

While at the same time (on same PC) a second instance of VLC receives another video stream on our LAN and feeds it back to the Skype caller.

This would call for running two instances of Skype on the same pc at the same time. One outputting stream 1 (video from skype caller) and the other receiving stream 2 on our LAN and feeding that video back to the skype caller.

So the questions...

1 - Can you run two instances of VLC on the same PC at the same time? One outputting Stream-1 and the other Receiving Stream-2 ???

2 - Can VLC instance-1 see the video from Skype as a video source so that it can create stream-1 on our LAN?

3 - Can VLC instance-2 provide video from stream-2 to Skype so that it can be sent back to the caller?

Thanks for any help with this.

VLC cannot act as video device for other software.

OK but can you run two instances of VLC on the same PC?

The first VLC instance serving video to the LAN.
The second VLC instance displaying video being streamed by another LAN computer.

Thanks for the help.

Yes, you can run multiple VLC instances on same computer.
