Hello!

I’m looking into how I could stream the exact same video file to multiple clients at once and having the playback be synced across all clients. My use case is that I have multiple Kodi (or similar) installs at home in different rooms but want multiple people to watch the same thing at the same time in different rooms.

I’ve previously used nginx-rtmp-module for live streaming from OBS locally. That might work, but seems like overkill for my case. I’d prefer not to use OBS if possible (maybe a headless OBS?). I’ve also played with VLC previously. Really, just looking for all-in-one options, if any exist.

I wouldn’t need transcoding or anything, just want to broadcast the same video file to any connecting clients directly.

Thanks!
