The VideoLAN Forums

Hello.

so I followed the mosaic howto but after the last step ... then what?
how do I connect vlc players so that they can receive this?
is it UDP? http?

can someone answer?

also I tried the http GUI, then i can see in the VLM web page that the files are playing, but then again, how do I connect the players to view that?

thanks

I assume you mean http://wiki.videolan.org/Mosaic

how do I connect the players to view that?

standard{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.255.12.42,sap,name="mosaic"}
So the default is LAN TS streaming and it should open by udp://239.255.12.42 (or udp://@239.255.12.42:1234 assuming you specify certain port)

I tried the same example from wiki and it is not worked for me - even with the latest VLC (1.0.2).
Telnet interface status show the following:

But vlc does not want to play nor udp://239.255.12.42 nor udp://@239.255.12.42:1234

May be the example is outdated alot?
