I like: - nspluginwrapper+nspluginplayer - feh+cli http clients (or feh -Q)

…for viewing swf and heaps of photos, with speed, efficiency and stability.

Why do it through a website and/or via some complex or proprietary software when you can do it simply on your own machine with simple, open source software?

Hype (priming), maybe?

It might also be enough to just use allmulticast on instead.

In the interfaces(5) file you could add this to the interface stanza:

up ip link set ${IFACE} promisc on

The ip(1) command is in the iproute package on Debian.
