The VideoLAN Forums

Hi All

I am trying to setup a streaming solution using VLC. I have setup a VLC Server and added some streaming media to it. I am able to access this streaming media on the LAN from another client computer (which has VLC player) installed on it.

My question is that now I am trying to share the streaming media files over a webpage so that it can be accessed from the Internet. Could you please provide some advise how I can acheive this? Is there any tools or html examples that I can use to setup this website?

What I am trying to acheive is to build a website which hosts streaming media files that I can share and can be updated easily from time to time. Any help will be much appreciated.

Let me know if you need any more details.


Thanks,

I've bookmarked your post as I too would be very interested in the answer!
Everyone seems to have no problem Doh! I must be missing something vital - my server > http://just-do-it.no-ip.org/vlc/index.html < is behind a nat router which I think, but don't knw, may be the problem - good luck!

the first thing you need is a web server such as, Easyphp 2.0 or Xamp , these are web server packages that have mysql, php etc all together simple to install,

how do i get my ip address accessable online ! -
you need to go into your router moden configeration, and forward port 80 ! - now if your on dynamic Ip address, you will need to get some free dns ip updater, and a subdomain name, example from www.no-ip.com signup its free- add subdomain example http://yourname.no-ip.org, next download dns ip updater to the computer where your web server is installed and simply login with your account then it will update your ip address to the subdomain example

example , http://mysoogal.no-ip.org > this address points to your home computer on the lane which is forwarding on port 80 !

here are the VLC controls i use on my site above, http://mysoogal.com/VLCcontrols.rar

you simply need to put them into the htdoc folder or www depending which web server you use, they mostly need to be put into htdoc folder. and thats it

hope that helps. good luck with it
