I want to use Kurento as the broadcast app for 1 to many, however the  
"many" is limited to bandwidth.  
Can Licode MCU be useful in this case?

Thanks,

Ray

You can handle the problem you said using erizo tree function and refer to  
the paper titled Rodriguez, Paul, et al. “dOTM: A mechanism for  
distributing centralized multi-party video conferencing in the cloud.” _Future  
Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud), 2014 International Conference on_.  
IEEE, 2014.

Unfortunately, I don’t know how to use its function…

Thanks but I don’t want to pay for something that I don’t know if it will  
help me.On Thursday, March 31, 2016 at 8:43:50 AM UTC-4, gbChoi wrote:

We did a prototype of that functionality and some experiments in controlled  
scenarios, as seen in the paper.  
The code is in the erizo\_tree branch and some parts have been merged into  
master. At this point it is not quite ready to be used without considerable  
work/tinkering with Licode itself.

We do plan to work in that area at some point but I cannot give you an  
estimate.El jueves, 31 de marzo de 2016, 14:43:50 (UTC+2), gbChoi escribió:

Besides, that method would be ok for a small braodcast, but for streaming a  
webrtc live broadcast to maybe thousands, I do not want to have to pray that  
no one drops off in the middle of the broadcast, thus disconnecting X  
number of other viewers.On Tuesday, April 19, 2016 at 11:20:11 AM UTC-4, Ray wrote:
