[vlc] Question on streaming

Tue Aug 7 19:09:33 CEST 2007

I am trying to take an input stream from a linksys camera. 
http://192.168.1.115/img/video.asf
and stream that out to whoever connects. This video output from the 
camera is mp4 stream.

I want to be able to do this as the camera has a limited number of 
connects (4) and I need to
at least show 10 connections.

This seems like a common thing. What am I missing?
THanks,

Jerry
