Not sure whether this is better in this section of the forum or in the "General VLC media player troubleshooting" section, but I figured I'd try here first.
I've been trying all morning to get streaming to work. I have a simple USB webcam connected to one machine that I'm using as a capture device in VLC, trying to stream that feed out over the network. I've tried streaming it via HTTP, UDP, etc. and nothing's worked. I've looked through both the VLC website documentation and the wiki, and none of the documentation is up to date covering the current generation of the UI. I've also searched here on the forums and found a couple of threads detailing issues with streaming (apparently the UI sometimes flubs the streaming settings for no apparent reason, etc.), but those threads are old and I'm not sure if they are now outdated. I'm hoping some folks here can tell me what I'm doing wrong!
Here are screenshots of my configuration, to hopefully shed some light on the matter (both the server and client machines are running the most recent VLC version, 2.2.8 "Weathermax"):
Server:
Client:
The server's private IP on my local network is 192.168.86.41, and I've ensured that both the server and the client machines are on the same LAN. I've tried all manner of alternatives in the "address" field, from leaving it completely blank (and just using 192.168.86.41:1234 as the URL in the client) to just "/", "/live", etc. etc. with the corresponding addresses in the client, and none of them have worked.
I ran a debug log on the client when I tried to connect to the stream and I have that log file. I tried to paste it but the forum told me it contained too many URLs.
P.S.- I was running older versions of the VLC software when I first started trying to get this stream working and was encountering the same issue. I updated both the server and client machines to the current version during my troubleshooting process... so I don't think the current rev of the software is the problem.
Thank you very much for your help!!!
