The VideoLAN Forums

Hi
I am new to this technology and I am trying to explore it for our needs in streaming solution. Our department supports live and on demand streaming for the university and we have a windows 2003 server which is our media storage and streaming server. We have been facing the question to support quictime for streaming but it has been always a big question which streaming solution to go for. There is one called Helix server , a very expensive one. Even though it can support all major formats we cannot afford it. When I was reading about VLS, it sounds like it could be a solution to support both windows and media. I am looking for more information about VLS and how I can use this with our exisiting windows 2003 server (standard edition). we use windows media encoder 9 for encoding and archving. Please help. Thanks.

no. use VLC for streaming.

Can you please advise some link for VLC streaming? I mean how to setup and admin information.

Hello, every, what is the difference in VLC and VLS. Just like one is client side and other is server side. But there real difference is what, can anybody explain it. Thanks a lot.

No VLC media player is a server and a client.

OK, thanks, I am looking at the documents about VLC and VLS. VLC can used as server stream output, initially it is client. but VLS is only used as server.
