Yes - this is already supported by "wis-streamer" (and our other RTSP 
server applications, such as the "LIVE555 Media Server" 
<http://www.live555.com/mediaServer/>).  Note, however, that the 
stream must be unicast on demand - not multicast, because the Amino 
STBs (at least, the ones that I have tested) do not handle multicast 
streams.

Note also that if you use an Amino STB client to play your stream, 
then *all* clients must be Amino STBs.  Because of limitations of the 
software, you cannot mix Amino STBs with other clients (such as VLC) 
that request RTP/UDP streaming.


>Another question what is the bandwitdh limit for the wis-streamer.

The application itself has no inherent bandwidth limit.  The only 
limits are those imposed (indirectly) by your hardware, OS, and 
network.
