  • I would suggest you that you should share it Peer-to-peer http://askubuntu.com/questions/294916/peer-to-peer-p2p-sync-and-share-ubuntu/295103#295103, it will use your & other pc network bandwidth as well... – Qasim May 25 '13 at 05:33
  • What bitrate is that video encoded? 10 clients may eat up your bandwith. – Takkat May 25 '13 at 06:49

You could use Network File System (NFS) to share a directory and place the file in it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo

    I have streamed a video file on 2-3 devices and it has worked, not sure about 10. Yes, I would agree with P2P for 10. – Max May 25 '13 at 06:42
  • no i didn't share via NFS plz guide me step by step if possible – farhad May 25 '13 at 08:23

A possible solution for your needs is a media streaming solution like this project. Have you calculated the bandwidth needs for what you are trying to do? A high quality mpeg-4 stream can reach 4MBp/s per channel. Multiplying this by 10 leaves precious little room for anything else on a standard WiFi channel.
