I think you hit the nail on the head. Mostly I want to be able to view mkv
video on multiple clients concurrently. The video files will be hosted on
the server already, so it may be a simple matter of connecting to the
server to start the stream, then grabbing the stream on the clients. It
looks like vlc can do exactly that, but I will look into gstreamer as well.
Thanks for that suggestion.
