Share/Stream live video on LAN network - raspberry

Question

As in the question, I need to share a video in lan by broadcasting.

From server, I've tried with:

avconv -i video.mov -c:v libx264 -f mpegts udp://[destinationIP]:1234

From client I can play video with:

omxplayer udp://serverIP:1234

But this works only for one "connection".

What I need is to put the video stream in broadcast that all the clients can read.

Any ideas?

Have you multiple client machines ? you are sending to only one destinationIP. You probally want to use MULTICAST, (or for a quick try BROADCAST) address at destination and client. — X Tian

I found the solution searching on web, especially reading this page.

For transmit video:

avconv -i video.mov -c:v libx264 -f mpegts udp://224.0.0.100:1234

From any client in the lan:

omxplayer udp://224.0.0.100:1234

The trick is to trasmit to the multicast group with the ip range:

. from 224.0.0.0
. to 239.255.255.255

'1234' is the port used to stream.
