[streaming] Piped input to VLC

[Epelde Gorka]

Hi all,

I'm trying to give a piped input to VLC. I'm feeding the pipe with an
MPEG2 multiprogram TS, right now is a file but, it's going to be a real
device in short. If i execute "cat video.mpg | vlc -" and it works. I
can then select a program from VLC and watch it with no problem. 
Next, i try to stream this MPEG2 TS file through the network, for it i
use VLM through telnet interface. How should i configure it? I have
tryed with /dev/stdin and no luck. I have tryied "cat video.mpg|vlc" and
inside vlc specifing "/dev/stdin" as file, and start playing sometimes
for a short time.
I also have tried with named pipes, but has happened the same. Any idea
how to fix this?

How many processes can i feed from a pipe?, only one, right? How can i
manage a stream to open many instances of it as a file? I have been
succesfully streaming   with the file, opening it many times.

Thanks,
