Using VLC to host a stream of an infinite video loop

Question

I want to offer a video stream from my pc with a VLC player trough a WIFI network to smartphones for regression testing. The video should automatically restart at the beginning

Thank you freeforall tousez!

The gather:std setting worked great for me. Below is my command line string for RTSP with a playlist.

cvlc --random --loop /var/www/html/files/test.xspf :sout=#gather:rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554/} :network-caching=1500 :sout-all :sout-keep

This streams a playlist of videos randomly in a never ending loop. I hope this will help others.
