    v17 v18  
    7474In this section we describe the parameters of the mcpo-vlc plugin and some usage scenarios which demonstrate the strength of the mcpo approach.
    7575
    76 Vlc-mcpo uses a spontaneous virtual network (SpoVNet) for distributing the video content. Each SpoVNet have to consist of 0-1 senders and 0-N receivers. The connection procedure does not depend on the role (sender/receiver) one instance has. This can confuse a little in the beginning, as on most streaming protocols the role defines whether one instance is client or server.

    7979==== Parameters ====
    80 The vlc-mcpo plugin takes three connection parameters. source-port:destination-address:destination-port (e.g. 1234:localhost:5000)

    8282The "source-port" provides an entry point for other instances to the SpoVNet our instance is (or will be) in.

    8888==== Creating a SpoVNet ====
    89 At first we need an initial SpoVNet, consisting of a single vlc-mcpo instance. This instance can be either server or client but must be accessible from (at least) the second instance. On the first instance we have to set the source-port. (Destination-address and -port can be set but as long as there is no other instance listening there, setting this parameters has no effect.)

    9191On the second instance, destination-address and -port must be set adequate. It can also set the source-port to act as an entry point later.
