Stream a file
Stream a file with VLC
% vlc -vvv video1.xyz --sout udp:192.168.0.42 --ttl 12
where:
video1.xyz
is the file you want to stream,
192.168.0.42
is either:
the IP address of the machine you want to unicast
to;
or the DNS name the machine you want to unicast
to;
or a multicast IP address.
12
is the value of the TTL (Time To
Live) of your IP packets (which means that the stream will be
able to cross 11 routers).
If you want to stream the file continuously, add the
--loop option.
