I’m looking for a way to stream video to a local network. There would be around 1000 viewers, if not more, and this would have to be via a browser (most viewers have Internet Explorer, but Chrome and Firefox support would be nice too). Since it’s company policy, not all users have internet access, so this would have to be hosted internally on the company’s network. The source of the video will be both a video file and a live feed from a webcam.

On the receiving end I plan on serving the feed via JW Player, but I’m having troubles on how to stream the video.

I’ve been trying with VLC Media Player to no success, and I’m searching for another method (or instructions on how to do it correctly). In general, any help would be appreciated as I’m having a total brain fart moment. Currently I’m stating on the video file part first, and when that’s running I’m going to focus on the webcam part.

Thanks!

    At first I succeeded on using VLC for the stream, but when the viewers began to scale up, the stream began to slowdown fast.Then by using Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder to make a RTMP stream from the video source, and using Wowza as the streaming server, the stream is up and running with no noticeable slowdown when the viewers grow.

    I hope this solution works when the event is due (next tuesday).
