[HTTP:] won't stream

Postby michiel » 13 Mar 2006 16:19

i'd like to stream over http
i don't want to use telnet.
so i do this:

Code: Select all

vlc -I http [--http -src /media/d/map/ --http-host 192.168.1.101:port]
then on another pc, i can browse to the mainpage, but when i want to play a movie, it only plays on the host.

read the doc please: http://www.videolan.org/doc/ streaming howto (your command line options look like you've been prefixing random words with double dashes ...)

i did read that doc

it says
The HTTP interface

VLC ships with a little HTTP server integrated. It is used both to stream using HTTP, and for the HTTP remote control interface.

To start VLC with the HTTP interface, use:

% vlc -I http [--http-src /directory/ --http-host host:port]
so i copied that and made changes to directory and host as told on that doc

i don't understand why you say that that are random words?
please explain, i've just started using vlc and linux

Code: Select all

vlc -I http --http-src /media/d/map/ --http-host 192.168.1.101:port
maybe ? but that http server really is meant to start the http interface, not some kind of streaming server. (and replace port by a number > 1024)

If you want a true http server, read about Apache.

Hi
I've just seen your message, and I have the same problem as you.
I want to stream and control remotely media files but I didn't succed until now.

If you want more information, I suggest you to download a new version of VLC at http://nightlies.videolan.org/build

Now I can steam a media from the server, but I still not control it from client, and I can't get the access to start streaming from the client.

I'll give you some news if I have some.
:lol:
