Can I stream from an rtmp encoder TO a VLC player or to ffmpeg w/o server?

[zopiro]

Is it possible to stream to a VLC player or ffplay from an rtmp encoder?

What I mean to do is to send a a very simple live camera feed from A to B, both on the same network. At A I have camera and an rtmp encoder (tricaster). At B I have a Windows notebook.

Can this be done without a streaming server?

Give us some information about the rtmp encoder tricaster.
How do you access the stream from it?

I'm used to streaming from the Tricaster to streaming servers like Wowza, or services like Youtube, Ustream, etc.

It's configureable through the internal interface, where I can set a streaming address (such as rtmp://address/publishing_point), a stream ID (such as "live_newscast"), and login/passwd settings.

I think you have to use a server or something like livestreamer to restream it to VLC Media Player.
