At work we have a single link to the outside world that is not connected to the work's intranet. As the work will not like us using their bandwidth to stream the RWC matches, we'd like to use Supersport streaming to watch the matches. All of us have valid Smart Card numbers, and one has a Drifta. Meaning that if there is a solution that entails each viewer to log on, that would be totally fine. There are about 6 of us, on a private little network totally independent from the work's.

My problem now is that our access pipe is too small to take five or six streams. Any suggestions on how I can distribute the stream to all, without totally congesting the access pipe?
 
The only way I know of, is using ffserver to replay the Supersport RTMP stream to RTSP on your private network. So then only 1 guy connect to the live stream, the others connect to that guy.

Of coarse this means you know what the RTMPE url is. You can use rtmpsrv to catch the url.

Best of luck, I can't give more than a few hints, but it is currently possible, however I am pretty certain Multichoice will not approve of this.

That made phrasing my question difficult. Multichoice will not approve of my broadcasting their stream, though ethically I don't mind doing it as everybody involved can stream it legally. They can't monitor my statement, however, so they won't support the idea at all. :-)

I think I'll try the RTMPE option, it will probably be a bit more efficient than to stream a screendump (WME). If I can't get that going, WME will have to do the trick.

Thanks!
