How to stream desktop audio 2.0.x
Posted: 02 Apr 2012 19:14
Total novice here....
I see I can use Media, Stream..., Capture Device, Desktop and I can see the "hall of mirrors effect."
How do I access this stream from another PC on the same LAN segment?
Background: We have a public meeting that is broadcast "live" by an outside contractor (Graticus). The meeting is stream live from them via a web dialog they control. The web dialog shows a mini-video and plays audio. Problem is the stream is at the highest broadcast quality and if we fire up more than 2-3 players our Internet connection is saturated.
I want to be able to run the player on one PC and re-broadcast the audio - we don't really need the video but if it is of low quality that is OK.
I assume the Desktop Capture is the way to go but I can't find any documentation on how to access the streaming desktop. The Wiki docs I did find are for version 1 and are not helpful.
So - how do I access a desktop stream from VLS 2.0.x from another PC?
Is there a better alternative to just broadcast the audio playing on one PC to others on the same LAN segment?
Thanks!
