I want to use it for Http Live Streaming.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 10px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">I am interested in streaming my webcam live using HLS. The webcam is connected to a windows 7 64-bit desktop machine which is behind a home LAN connected to the internet via ADSL. Instead of streaming directly from the windows
desktop, I want copy the M3U8 and MPEG-2 TS files to a web server located in a data center in another city. This is mainly due to bandwidth considerations as I cannot serve multiple simultaneous connections from my desktop.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 10px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">So far so good. But for this I will have to continuously copy files to the server.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 10px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">If possible, I would like to avoid copying the files continuously to the server and instead produce TS
and M3U8 files directly on the server.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 10px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">I have these questions about VLC-<br>1. Does VLC support live streaming using HLS?<br>2. Can I run VLC on my windows desktop but get it to somehow create M3U8 and TS files directly on the remote server in a specified directory (either using sftp or scp or any other mechanism internally)?<br>3. If VLC does not do this, is there any other available HLS software that I can look at and which will produce M3U8 and TS files directly on the remote server machine?</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 10px; border: 0px; outline: 0px;
