The title says it all. I need to be able to stream video from a webcam across the Local area network at My office to setup a utility… any Ideas on how I can Do it…? I have a copy of the palantir 2.7 streaming server but there is no documentation available on the web for the code… and the code is very sparsely commented. Personally I can’t make any sense out of it. Can anyone help…?
Use VLC, stream as UDP multicast and anyone with a VLC player can then grab it (or a device/box with multicast playing abilities - you should use something like MPEG2 or H264 as the compression scheme)
For example udp://239.252.10.1:1234 as the output (Nice crude multicast address 
)
Or you can setup VLC a a streaming server for Windows media clients as mms:// so they can simply point their players (For example Windows Media Player, VLC or MPlayer for Linux/Windows) to a http:// port - VLC documentation has examples and I think the GUI lets you do it rather easily as well.
i know how to use vlc… I need to be able to capture using my own code and send it across using LAN… preferably UDP… possible…?
