VLC MP streaming into Windows Media Player

[GFORCE100]

Hi all,

I'm trying to stream a video file from VLC MP so it can be opened via Windows Media Player (for now on the same PC, later on PC's on a network).

So I use the wizard built into VLC MP to start the stream using the HTTP method and let that run. In Windows Media Player I open a URL and type in http://MyIPAddress:8080 but it says the destination cannot be opened.

What's going wrong?

When I do the same but with two instances of VLC MP (one server, one client) it all works fine.

Thanks,

[DJ]

The file format is WMV, not sure about the container.
