There seem to be a lot of questions but few answers.
I couldn't find any directions telling what to put into the blank boxes to make things work and the drop down arrows produce an empty box!
However after some experimenting I figured out how to select the DVD on the server. Open the Streaming Wizard, under File. Select the Disk tab, click DVD if it isn't already, and put in the drive letter of your DVD drive.
Click OK, then click Choose the Streaming Method, click UDP and put in the IP address of your client and click OK. Then click Start. The program doesn't save any of the entries so write down everything you enter so you can go back to it again when you get it working. On the client pc you have to do the same thing but choose Open Network Stream and put in the IP address of the server.
Also, DVD's won't play smoothly with good sound over 10 baseT ethernet or wireless LAN! The picture is jerky and the sound breaks up.

There are no answers here because they are already in the official documentation.

What documentation? Can't find any documentation! None that makes sense anyway. If you are using windows it's all complete nonsense.

Write some better one.

It's an open source project. Get the code, try to make the soft work (there's thousands who succeed, so you might have a chance), write down how it works. It will be truly, deeply appreciated by developers and users.

Thanks in advance.
