Hello
I'm tring to lunch vlc using command line, so I type the following commands

In the host wich receive multicast stream
- vlc udp:@233.0.73.29

In the host wich have to stream a file with vlc
- vlc /root/VLCpackage/airc.avi --sout udp://233.0.73.29 --ttl 35

But the second command don't run and in the command line appear the output : "bash: vlc: command not found".

Can someone explain me the problem?
Thanks in advance.

i guess that you just don't have VLC installed on you computer (at least its not in your PATH)

Hi Antonie,
I don't know because you think that I haven't istalled VLC.
But I guarantee you I istalled vlc in my laptop (where I use windows) and in four computer that I use to realize the work (where I use slackware).

Anyway, nothing about my problem?
Do you have a look to the other my post?

"bash: vlc: command not found" : this means that bash (your linux shell) can't find vlc ... so either its not installed, either its not installed somewhere standard.

if you compiled vlc yourself, you might need to go in the appropriate folder and use "./vlc" instead of "vlc".
