Cannot figure our why I can't view my stream...

[mattttam]

I am trying to figure out why I can't view a stream accross a network. The guides I have found dont seem to address the errors i am getting. Here is what I am doing.

I have no firewall on my computers or my lan.
My lan is setup on 192.168.2.xxx
I have enabled streaming interface in the options.

Here is my .host file:
#
# Access-list for VLC HTTP interface
# $Id$
#

# localhost
::127.0.0.1

# link-local addresses
#fe80::/64

# private addresses
fc00::/7
fec0::/10
10.0.0.0/8
172.16.0.0/12
192.168.0.0/16
169.254.0.0/16

# The world (uncommenting these 2 lines is not quite safe)
::/0
0.0.0.0/0

I open VLC...media...open capture device...select my usb cam...alt s for stream.click play localy...click http and put in the address of the host computer.
Then I profile and select windows (wmv/asf)...and click stream.

At this point my cam appears.

Then I go to tools...add interface...console...and I add web interface.
I then get this in the console:

Remote control interface initialized. Type `help' for help.

Now I open VLC on my laptop which is connected wirelessly to my network. I go to play network...click http...and add the ip address of the host computer.
Of course it will not connect.

I suspect that I need to change the settings in the .host file to match my network settings, but I tried doing that as well and I get nothing. I apologize for the length of this post but I am a novice computer tech and I understand the value of giving all the information possible.

Any help anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

.host file is only for HTTP GUI, it doesn't affect to streaming.

And why you have ::127.0.0.1?

Default is

Code: Select all

# # Access-list for VLC HTTP interface # $Id$ # # localhost ::1 127.0.0.1 # link-local addresses #fe80::/64 # private addresses #fc00::/7 #fec0::/10 #10.0.0.0/8 #172.16.0.0/12 #192.168.0.0/16 #169.254.0.0/16 # The world (uncommenting these 2 lines is not quite safe) #::/0 #0.0.0.0/0

Ok i have reset my .host file to default and removed the correct comment symbols. Now what?

First try to get the streaming work. So try to stream video file to same computer. If that works, then try webcam. If that succeeds then try to stream to other computer. If any step fails, paste messages here inside quote tags.
