Hi, I'm in Computing Science Studing in France, and i need to develop a mini-linux distribution to broadcast music on a network on a embedded system.
We think to use VLC for streaming and a own-program to send command from PHP to VLC.
My question is : VLC uses a Dynamic ou Static system for the Streaming ?
Thanks

do you mean can you change the parameters of the stream during the actually stream? like if i want to bump up my bitrate?
I dont' think so, but that would be amazing....

Yes, it is a dynamic changement of the bandrate during the streaming depending of the clients.

VLC follows the Bit Rate of the transcode and some form of transcoding is required for streaming. The menus allow for ABR just as most encoders do. Given that VLC is a packet based player it reacts the same if you save to file or stream across a network and would be dynamic in this regard. This action can be changed for some encoders.
