Equivalent of Android VLC Streaming clients for Windows?

[bemymonkey]

Hi everyone!

I've been using VLC to stream to "VLC Stream and Convert" on my Android phone with great success (works perfectly), but am having a bit of trouble setting up a similar system on my subnotebook with just VLC and Firefox (can't get video for the life of me - audio starts streaming, but not through VLC and not through Firefox either - kill both apps and the audio still continues playing ).

Is there a similar streaming "client" for Windows that just scans for open VLC web interfaces and then allows you to set up everything on that end, just like the Android clients?

What's important is that all the settings should be available on the client after you've started VLC with the web interface on the server.

Or do I just need to keep trying to get the traditional VLC-to-VLC version working? Any recommendations for an up-to-date tutorial?


Thanks in advance!

could you try with several versions of VLC?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I got it working with regular UDP, but the web interface doesn't seem to work particularly well. Seeking in particular is problematic...


The Android apps on the other hand work perfectly. I'm just wondering why there isn't a similar simplified front-end for Windows that only requires the user to run VLC on the host PC with the web interface on. Everything else is done from the client-side app, including choosing codecs and so on...
