I'm trying to accomplish the following :
Given a VLC server which can stream several different video streams (I'm not sure this is possible or will require several server instances, but this is a q. for another forum ) I need to be able to run a configurable number of VLC clients, to specify for each what stream shall request, and then have the client log some info re: the stream, such as frame rate, amount of data received etc, as way of monitoring the quality of stream received.
(this is meant to be sort of a "verification" part of a larger project )
Please help me as to how to get started about this? What language should I be using ? Is it possible to accomplish all the above by simply using the command line interface? If so - how can it be used non-interactively?
Thanks to all!
