Play one multimedia content on multiple devices at the same time?

Can I send and show my multimedia content on two or more devices via DLNA at the same time?

If yes how can I do it ? For example I want my tvs, tablets to play the same multimedia content of my smartphone( LG Nexus 4) at the same time.

If not, are there any other protocols(like wifi) to do this. Any approaches will be appreciated.

I'm not sure about DLNA players etc, but I have tried streaming my content via Youtube. It's very easy to set up and use.

The only thing is make sure your battery is plugged in, or as long as it does not die. Youtube live stream takes up a lot of battery. Some Useful Links

AFAIK, DLNA doesn't support viewing synchronized content across multiple devices. The best solution I've found is VLC as a server streaming a video via RTSP. Multiple devices can view the stream via any video client that supports RTSP, like VLC. For Android devices VLC for Android Beta works well.

All clients viewing the stream will be synchronized.
