The VideoLAN Forums

I have setup VLC with VLM to do video broadcasting using RTP. I have a video source (server) and VLC getting the stream from the server and providing it to clients. I am controlling VLC using the telnet interface to setup streams, and to play and pause streams.

When I use the telnet control command "control se1 pause" to pause a stream, does VLC pause the stream between the video source (server) and VLC, or between the client and VLC?

VLC will try to pause the input stream.
