Can anyone please let me know the exact difference between the VLC media player and the VLC media server?
Also I wanted to install the VLC media server on my centos server. I tried to get some references on it but I did not find any tutorials or references on the same. If anyone have any idea, Please share the same.
VLC media player - can be used as a server and as a client to stream and receive network streams. VLC is able to stream all that it can read.
VLS (VideoLAN Server) - can stream MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 files, DVDs, digital satellite channels, digital terrestial television channels and live videos on the network in unicast or multicast. Most of the VLS functionality can now be found in VLC.
Finally:
Usage of VLC instead of VLS is advised
You can use VLC directly from the command line so it's also suitable for a server environment.
