VLC on Suse 10.1 - how to allow specific server?
Posted: 29 Nov 2007 03:27
Hello,
I have installed VLC according to http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-suse.html on a Linux Suse 10.1 system, all patches installed, firewall running, connected to internet by DSL router.
When I call a playlist by "vlc http://mafreebox.freebox.fr/freeboxtv/playlist.m3u", the VLC media player window and a playlist window appear, and at the prompt there are lots of messages, of which the one that strikes me most reads, "Unable to determine our source address: This computer has an invalid IP address: 0x0".
When I turn off the firewall and issue same vlc call, again the two windows appear, yet the first channel in the playlist is played successfully.
In the README of Freeplayer ( http://adsl.free.fr/tv/multiposte/ ) I read about allowing connections to 212.27.38.253 . How do I allow a connection to a specific server and/or port? Using Yast - Security and Users - Firewall, I did not find where and how to do this.
In your reply, please be as specific as possible, having a newbie in mind.
Thanks a lot,
