Not really related to the topic, but I recently set up a baby-cam with ffmpeg by just telling ffmpeg to stream to the broadcast address on my home network and I can now open the stream from VLC on any device in the household.

A very heavy-handed solution, but super simple. A single one-liner. Just thought to share a weird trick I found.

It could be a little more efficient to use a multicast address. Even if you don't have any special multicast routing set up, all the receiving machines should be able to discard the traffic a bit earlier in the pipeline.
