VideoLAN server

The VideoLAN Server ( VLS ) is a dedicated streaming server from the VideoLAN project. It runs under the operating systems GNU / Linux , Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X and is licensed as free software .

The VideoLAN Server can stream the following data types in unicast or multicast mode:

• MPEG-1
• MPEG-2
• MPEG-4
• DVDs
• digital satellite channels
• digital DVB - TV channel
• Live videos

A large part of the functionality has meanwhile been integrated into the VLC Media Player (formerly VideoLAN Client ). As a result, the development of the VideoLAN server has almost come to a standstill since mid- 2003 .
