Hello,

I would like to use the VLC HTTP interface to put some movie file online so that they can be streamed. Is it possible to do that? Then it would be possible to access those with another VLC player using address such as http://localhost:8080/media/movie.mpg ?

I would be glad to have some guideline about this?

there are some format i did not manage to stream , like .avi and mp4 files.
Would it be possible to convert them to a format which can be stream?
