Live TV Scenario

[ocx32]

Hello,

I have a live program show that i would like to broadcast over the internet. the scenario is as follow:

Location1:

LIVE TV connected to Server 1
Server 1 encodes the live content into an MPEG codec
Server 1 sends stream to Server 2 via HTTP
Users connect via the internet to Server 2 to view the stream


Can someone emphasis what is needed for this project at the software level? do i need to configure 2 webservers on each Server?
I read about the VLC server and i understood that the live content can be sent to a specific ip on a specific port, my question is where do i configure that listening port? i mean from server 1 i will be sending the stream to server2:portX , but i need to configure that listening portX on server 2, where do i configure that on server 2

Thank you,

you can configure this in your local web page, for example with the revolunet vlc plugin like this ...

<script language="javascript" src="VLCobject.js"> </script>
<script language="javascript" src="VLCcontrols.js"> </script>
<script language="javascript">
var vlc_controls = null;
function init() {
// load plugin
myvlc = new VLCObject("mymovie", "400", "224");
myvlc.write("vlccontent");
vlc_controls = new VLCcontrols(myvlc);
vlc_controls.onready = function () {
vlc_controls.play("http://<IPFromTheStreamSender>/<PortFromTheStreamSender>");
}
</script>

there are many samples on the vlc forum ...

The purpose is not to have users access the stream via webpage. actually they will view it on their TVs at home.

the scenario is as follow:

LIVE CAMERA -> <Preprocessing box> -> <VLC Server in Site1> -> <VLC Server in Site2> <Post Processing box> -> <Transmission on the AIR)

i will need to send the live stream from VLC site 1 to VLC site 2 so what i was thinking about is to configure streaming to take place on VLC1 on port 8080 for example and than on VLC site2 i connect to http://vLC1:8080/sample .

My main question is once i receive the stream on server2 via http://VLC1:8080/sample i need to save it locally on the hardisk than send it to a post processing box with all the transmission stuff to be broadcasted on TV can someone emphasis this process? how does it take place? can i save the live stream on a hardisk and dynamically process it to the post processing box?


I am not sure how i can get the stream from HTTP and redirect it to the post processing box

Thanks a million
