[vlc] Re: Several VLC instances with the same input stream

[Itsik Boger]

As long as no machine make a IGMP join to the multicast, the traffic will 
not be received by any computer on the LAN.
Another alternative will be to use VLS (and not VLC) streaming multiple 
unicast channels (as many as you have clients) with the same content.

Hope it helps
