Video streaming with VLC multicast

In addition to broadcasting satellite channels, it may be necessary to broadcast files.



Here is my example of Gentoo Linux + VLC



And so, the system:

Pentium III - 800MHz, 512 Mb RAM, RAID1, 100Mb / s



Portage 2.1.6.4 (default/linux/x86/2008.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.25-gentoo-r8 i686)

I want to note that when you build with the optimizememory process, it will take about 2-3 days.



Startup command:

vlc -v /home/ftp/pub/playlist.m3u --sout '#standard{access=udp{ttl=15},mux=ts{tsid=22,pid-video=23,pid-audio=24,pid-pmt=25,use-key-frames},dst=[multcast ip]}' --random --loop --volume 100





All this is started by the daemon, which deletes the old playlist, makes a new one, and starts the process in the screenshot.
