[streaming] Re: Use of VLC in WAN/MAN

[Bjørn Olav Ruud]

I cant't give you access to any streams, but my company offers MPEG-4
IPTV over a WAN in the Oslo region in Norway, to 350+ patient
terminals distributed over 5 hospitals. TV and radio (and soon VoD and
MoD) is transcoded, streamed and played back using VLC. So if you're
asking wether VLC can be used for such applications, yes it can. It is
not without issues though. We had to write a surveillance script for
our transcoders that watches for anomalies and resets VLC if something
bad happens, so I wouldn't call VLC ready for production use if you
want the service level of a TV broadcaster.

For those interested, my company's web site:
