A Very Large Stream

[Dub]

I am going to be live streaming an event to lots of computer on a GBIT network. I want to stream from a HD camera to the local network. I have until Friday to get this setup ready. I can provide any technical details at your request. My capture setup is; HD Camera to Component Cables to Elgoto capture card to USB which goes to the computer.

I do not have a Lan server set up currently. Is there no all inclusive software I can use for this purpose?

[godai]

i dont know any idea but all inclusive software usually its not free

[Dub]

Any options would be great. I am open to anything no matter the complexity. Even if that means making a video server just for this purpose.

[Dub]

Still looking for options.

VLC has the ability to capture, and can broadcast on the LAN via http, udp, rtp, etc.

https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Streaming_HowTo/

sample server (192.168.1.102) batch file command line for broadcasting a video file:

"g:\program files\videolan\vlc\vlc" -vvv %1 --sout=#http{mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=:8080/} :sout-all :sout-keep --ttl 12

sample client batch file:

"g:\program files\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe" http://192.168.1.102:8080

Yes, nginx. It's free.

How to set up your own private RTMP server using nginx (obsproject.com)

Believe it or not, RTMP is actually extremely light on system resources. Essentially it just grabs data from the input and forwards it on to the output...

...This guide focuses on using Linux. If you want to use Windows, you can find Windows binaries for nginx with the RTMP module already included here...

I have a linux machine I can use for the server

How can I use the RTMP server to broadcast over my LAN and will people be able to go to the local host in browser and pull up the stream?

[jagabo]

You don't need a dedicated server to broadcast video. Any computer on the LAN can use VLC to broadcast. And the computer broadcasting the video doesn't need to be especially powerful, it's only putting out one stream -- every computer on the sub-net receives it.

Using VLC isnt realy an option, the number of people on the LAN watching the stream may not have VLC and I am looking for a way to host the video on LAN and just have them pull up the stream in their browser.

Check this one:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/StreamingGuide

ffmpeg with hardware H.264 encode should be sufficient and light on resources,
