if anyone wants to Run a VLC in a video server mode on their webside webservers, or even your home BB connection if you have enough bandwidth OC ,you can always take any open video feed that VLC can see, and re-broadcast off your own private site for your friends to enjoy, it should be easy enough.
or you can even re-transcode (change from one format [wmv]to another [mpeg2]) containers for instance) on the fly.
if you want the simplest way to get the VLC command line output to use from a (secure and remote website)shell/cli , then the easy way is to just connect to VLC's internal websever, and play with the different trancoding/streaming output options from the web browser interface, then just copy paste the Streaming Output Destination (MRL) from that.
you will get the idea if you play around with some online video streams as your input.
shame Multicast isnt generally available over the web connection OC
so generic old hat, and ineffective Unicast wil have to do, you might try mixing in "MTunnel" into the mix OC, but i dont know if you can get it to just work as a multi end user Multicast tunneled feed, I.e run one stream , and loads of your friends can connect to that single MC tunneled feed as long as they too are running that "mtunnel" at their end...
http://cheyenne-server.org/blog.rsp the webserver written in rebol could work as a quick and easy self contained small webserver for anyones need re broadcast or transcode their videos housed or streamed elsewere on the net (your live webcam FI)OC.
with a little bit of thought and testing, you should be able to VLC stream your webcam on your laptop at the AGM, to your webside server and have another copy of VLC there taking that single stream as its input, and re-broadcast it directly off the webside server, making that take the brunt of the mass streaming download demand, instead of your restricted wireless connected laptop webcam VLC feed.
a relay type connection if you will...
