can we combine the P2P technology with VLC?

well, VLC is a excellent player with plenty good featrues, it supports many streaming format. But if stream video to a large number of client, the server will be overbundenned. The P2P technology can make every peer to be both a server and a client, that's just the vlc can do, right? Can we combine the P2P technology with VLC, so that we can get a more powerful internet media player?

It should certainly be possible, but it isn't implemented in vlc yet. I'd recommend looking at the peercast protocol if you look to implement such features.

Yes, it's possible!
BTW, I'm doing this... I'm developing an MPEG player that receives a stream from VLC and can share the content in its buffer to other clients. My system works like CoopNet combining client-server and P2P.

if the vlc involves the P2P techenology, it seems cool. Is there any open source P2P applications, so that it can be easy to combine.
