VLC Raspberry PI

[CamelJohn]

Hi all,

I'm wokring on a project as follows:

we Raspberry Pi's with vlc installed on them (among other things).
we need to stream UDP to the Raspberry Pi, witch in turn displays the stream on the TV using some protocol.

atm We open up an http server on the Raspberry PI, and send streams to it via 'curl' commands.

anyone have experiance with this ?

1. I'd like to know of a better way than curl to send udp streams to the vlc server
2. we need to deinterlace the streams possibly with the 'bob' algorithm - and since i'm new to VLC, Raspberry Pi, UDP and video steaming at all, i have no clue where to begin (i read the docs over and over, VLC that is)
3. i need a way to know what stream is being played, maybe when they get switched.

thank you all for your help !!!
