    if(args.length != 1) {
      System.out.println("Specify a single MRL to stream");

    NativeLibrary.addSearchPath(RuntimeUtil.getLibVlcLibraryName(), "C:\\Program Files\\VideoLAN\\VLC");
    Native.loadLibrary(RuntimeUtil.getLibVlcLibraryName(), LibVlc.class);

    String media = args[0];
    String [] options = formatHttpStream("127.0.0.1", 5080);

    System.out.println("Streaming '" + media + "' to '" + options + "'");

    MediaPlayerFactory mediaPlayerFactory = new MediaPlayerFactory(args);
    HeadlessMediaPlayer mediaPlayer = mediaPlayerFactory.newHeadlessMediaPlayer();
    mediaPlayer.playMedia(media, options);
    // Don't exit
    Thread.currentThread().join();
  }

  private static String [] formatHttpStream(String serverAddress, int serverPort) {
    String [] sb={":sout = #duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=127.0.0.1:5080}}"};
    return sb;
  }
}

I want to confirm that can this code is able to stream the video from the server to the client side. The flow I am trying to achieve is:

1. Client sends request to server for stream
2. Server creates connection to client to send the video in packets based on the clients ip address and port number.

No this code will not do what you want all. Please refer to my answer on your previous question for why. Especially the section "Explanation of StreamHttp.java part".
