Can't connect to stream

[MrAzulay]

Hi, I'm new to streaming in vlc however I'm interested in setting up a VOD server. This is what I've done so far:

Code: Select all

vlc.exe -I telnet telnet-password xxx

Putty:

Code: Select all

> new vod vod enabled new > setup vod input C:/j.mp4 setup > setup vod output #transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=0,scale=0,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=:8080/} setup > show show media : ( 0 broadcast - 1 vod ) vod type : vod enabled : yes mux : (null) inputs 1 : C:/j.mp4 output : #transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=0,scale=0,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=:8080/} options instances schedule >

I cant connect to it though! I just get this when trying with localhost and internal ip

Code: Select all

Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://localhost:8080'. Check the log for details. Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://192.168.0.106:8080'. Check the log for details.

Is there any step I'm missing? Im running windows 7 64 bit, disabled all firewalls.
(i cant find any logs either)

Edit:

Ok so i found out that you cant do http vod streams (right?). Switched to rtsp and it works but only locally using either localhost or my internal ip. Whenever i use my external ip or domain it seems to time out. Anyone know what it might be?
