I've been trying for a few days to get streaming to work but nothing seems to be working. I'm hoping I've made a simple configuration error someone here can correct me on.
I have a simple USB webcam connected to one machine that I'm using as a capture device in VLC, trying to stream that feed out over the network. I've tried streaming it via HTTP, UDP, etc. (I've read through the documentation, the wiki, and searched the forums to no avail.)
I have a debug log from the receiving machine and I tried to paste it, but the forum told me there were too many URLs.
So instead, here are screenshots of my configuration, to hopefully shed some light on the matter (both the server and client machines are running the most recent VLC version, 2.2.8 "Weathermax"):
Server:
Client:
The server's private IP on my local network is 192.168.86.41, and I've ensured that both the server and the client machines are on the same LAN. I've tried all manner of alternatives in the "address" field, from leaving it completely blank (and just using 192.168.86.41:1234 as the URL in the client) to just "/", "/live", etc. etc. with the corresponding addresses in the client, and none of them have worked.
P.S.- I was running older versions of the VLC software when I first started trying to get this stream working and was encountering the same issue. I updated both the server and client machines to the current version during my troubleshooting process... so I don't think the current rev of the software is the problem.
Thank you very much for your help!!!
