The VideoLAN Forums

I have a project at work to get some video demos to stream to any given number of people, viewing any of the many demos we have, at any given time.

Can VideoLan do this? The server is Debian Linux. What kind hit to the server will this have? (Debian, 3Ghz, 1GB RAM)

Thank you,

if you do multicast streaming; the limiting factor will be the NIC's speed.

if you want to transcode real time ... you will need a big computer.

if you want to do video on demand ... i don't have any notion of the power needed (must be smaller than transcoding)

How would I go about doing this for a web site? I only have telnet access to the server. Can a PHP script, web page, do all the needed things to stream.

The NIC is a gb, but is limited back to 100 mb.


Thank you,

I found out how to set up the VOD (Voice on Demand) stuff: viewtopic.php?t=7071&highlight=

And Towards the end of this page: http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-h ... /ch05.html it is explained a little.

When someone does a search, in many forums not just this one, too many results come up to sift through.

Thank you,

have a look at viewtopic.php?t=7065. i made a web-based streaming server. it's for windows, but with some easy adaptions in the php-scripts, it will run on linux, too.

I think the adaptions do not need more than 3-5 minutes, and comprise only the paths, and the commands for killing a task as well as the current list of running tasks.

Awesome! I will check it out when I get some free time and our IT person gets the Linux box all installed.

Thank you,
