Streaming server with multiple inputs?

[Mattcrl]

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a streaming server and I would like to know if I can use VLC.

I have a number of audio input channels, which the users should be able to choose from.
Let's say I have 10 audio inputs, do I have to run 10 instances of VLC?

The users should be able to choose stream using a simple webgui or play the stream in a audio player of choice.
I guess it's pretty simple writing a webgui that picks a stream and plays it using for example a flash player.

The server is going to run linux, command line only.


Is this possible using only VLC?

VLM can manage multipe inputs. Please refer to the online streaming documentation.

please add a link with documentation from multiple inputs and a single output ...

a lot of people are asking about this, i search today on the online documentation, and i;ve found only one input and multiple outputs.

--input-slave <URL of the second input>

You need consistent timestamps across all inputs of the same stream.
