I'm trying to stream live video using VLC, however I don't know how to verify how much bandwidth is being used.
Is there an easy way to see how mcuh bandwidth is being used for a particular stream?
Thanks!

Use something like bmon on your server (or a test machine) and watch what's being used as each client connects. Using a v4l device as my input, streaming video at 320x240@10fps using mp4 format and no audio it uses 15-19K/sec/viewer coming out of my darwin server.

Hie sjensen,
Is that 15-19 Kilobytes or Kilobits?
Can you please post your vlc command line options? I am trying to stream on very low bandwidth and will like to achive your rates if its low.
Thank you!
