Stream to 50 clients

Postby mrparity » 21 Mar 2012 10:02

Hello,

I'm very new to this topic and maybe mc questions are stupid, but I dont know who to ask... So thanks for reading this post :-)

I want to serve a stream to round about 50 clients on the internet. On the compter with a camera should run vlc to encode and stream it to a server. The clients now should be able to view the stream by using a flash player (maybe flowplayer). I can not stream to 50 clients directly so i could imagine, that it works like this:

Code: Select all

Camera computer ----------> Media Server|------------> flowplayer -----------> client |------------> flowplayer -----------> client |------------> flowplayer -----------> client |------------> flowplayer -----------> client |------------> flowplayer -----------> client
But what's the media Server in this case? Are I'm totally wrong here?

Thanks for reading this post :-D

Try this website, it explains how to "re-stream" a stream from your "homeserver"

Thanks for the link, vel_tins, I appreciate it. I also understand Jean-Baptiste's point about Wowza.

However, can someone tell me how many simultaneous connections can VLC stream? Besides network capacity, what would be the bottleneck?

Thanks!
