Udp unicast to multiple addresses at once, possible?

Postby Gabo » 01 Feb 2004 21:52

I have thee friends on my network and I'd like to send stream to them. I currently cannot use multicast or broadcast because I've got old network hardware that start suck under heavy load. I can stream file to single receiver without problems

vlc prodigy90_med.mpeg --sout udp:10.2.3.4

Is it possible to send same stream to many ip adresses at once?

I'm searching solution like this:
vlc prodigy90_med.mpeg --sout udp:10.2.3.4,udp:10.2.3.152,udp:10.2.3.166

Two solutions

- either use the "duplicate" system of sout.
(this is explained in the VideoLAN client user guide :
http://www.videolan.org/doc/vlc-user-gu ... ml#AEN1332
and in the VideoLAN Howto:
http://www.videolan.org/doc/videolan-ho ... esout.html )

- either use HTTP streaming (your clients then have to connect to the server)
