The VideoLAN Forums

I made a video showing the problem: http://www.screencast.com/t/kVyypoy9

I'm using Hardy Heron Ubuntu and the nightly build of vlc (Test3 i think). But seriously doubt it's the betas fault, I think it might be something on my end, idk though, any ideas?

The Web interface doesn't play locally either, haven't tested if network broadcasting works either. Don't need network broadcasting, just REALLY NEED local play back, and scheduling doesn't work either.

BTW is there other software for linux that can play video on a schedule basis? Please let me know.

seriously, no one?

*bump*

Well there's lots of possible problems as to why VLM won't but you may want to try running VLC with the following command to start:
And then:
Try accessing at least the web interface on either http://127.0.0.1:8080 or http://*lan-ip*:8080

If that doesn't work run VLC with no command arguments and go into the Preferences. Navigate to "Interfaces" and click on "Main Interfaces" and make sure "HTTP remote control interface" is checked like so:



After that, restart VLC with:
If you can at least get that to work then you're in good shape. But if it doesn't then something bigger is wrong which I couldn't say as I'm not a Linux person.

And by the way, I couldn't get that video of yours to work.
