Configure VLC to listen for connections - restream from serv

[highvoltz]

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to configure VLC on my FREEBSD dedicated server to listen for connections, then restream what is streamed to it. - I would like to randomly stream from my cable modem to the server, and have clients view the stream from the server to conserve my cable modems bandwidth.

I've figured out how to have the server connect to the cable modem and stream that input, but I'd like to be able to have the cable side connect to the server and provide the stream, so I dont have to open port sin the firewall cable modem side.

I was able to do the above like this:
vlc -vvv mmsh://myhostname.com:6543 --sout='#standard{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=serverip:6543}'

How can I configure VLC to wait for connections on a certain port and use that as the input for the stream? Thanks!

setup your relay in VLC with the VLM. Once running, it will continue to relay when the originating stream starts and stops.
