| ==What is VLMa?==
| |
| | |
| [http://www.videolan.org/vlma VLMa] means VideoLAN Manager
| |
| | |
| VLMa is a Java application which provides a daemon and a web interface to manage several VLC streamers.
| |
| | |
| It is being used in École Centrale Paris to broadcast Satellite and TNT channels over the network.
| |
| | |
| Its source code is available under GPLv2 or later in VideoLAN's [[Git]], browsable on the web via [http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlma.git;a=summary gitweb].
| |
| | |
| $ git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlma.git
| |
| | |
| The daemon is in charge of managing the streamers:
| |
| * give orders using the telnet interface,
| |
| * fallback whenever a server fails,
| |
| * monitor streamers' state using SNMP,
| |
| * draw RRD graphs.
| |
| | |
| The web module provides a user-friendly interface to communicate with the daemon. The communication between the daemon and the web interface is done using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Method_Invocation RMI].
| |
| | |
| ==Usage==
| |
| | |
| VLMa is not the right tool if what you want is a graphical front-end to VLM. You should only consider using VLMa if you have several streamers to manage simultaneously.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| | |
| VLMa development started in January 2006 under the impulsion of Sylvain Cadilhac, who was network administrator at [http://www.via.ecp.fr VIA Centrale Réseaux] and [[VideoLAN]] treasurer. There were around 10 servers in charge of streaming television and radio over the campus network, and the aim of the project was to provide a web interface to manage every server.
