VOD Howto

[ksreejithnair]

VOD works for me.
I used HTTP interface to configure VOD.
I have started vlc with the following command.
vlc --extraintf http --http-src http/ --http-host localhost:80
make sure that port 80 is not in use.
From the browser I have accessed vlc http inteface using the url http://localhost/vlm.html
In the interface click on the video on demand button
Give any name in the name field : I have given "test"
Select an input file."somefile.avi"
Then click on send button.

Now you can access it from any vlc palyer using rtsp://[serverip]/test

Streaming is not working if the input file is .wmv or file name contains special characters like single quotes ( ' )

I wish to know three things, any input to this will be helpful.
1) whether I can give screen:// as input so that I can capture and send my desktop as VOD.
2) Is it possible to run setup VOD from command line.
3) Is it possible to setup VOD using libvlc.dll.

Thanks in advance.

Can anybody tell me why i cant connect over the internet? When I try it locally it works just fine. But when I do it from another computer over the internet. I see that the stream wanna start. It starts transfering some data but eventually it just dies out before I get any picture or video. I started the VLC server with.
