Streaming IP

[richardkentgates]

I have a dell running ubuntu server 12.04 with unity desktop and VLC installed. I also have an Acer Aspire One with windows 8. Both on the same router. VLC has picked up the webcam and the video works well, looks good. I have set it to stream http/MP4 but I cannot seem to access the stream. I don't want or need remote control, just the webcam stream. I have tried using localhost:8080 (machineIP):8080 as well as localhost:80 (machineIP):80 but I get nothing. I am new to VLC and I know a little about networking. I am doing this to embed a stream on a website using the HTML5 video tag. Thank you for any help and I look forward to interacting with this community regularly.

If you select destination method with gui wizard, then you need to add (use Add button) http target specifying the port and the path. basically it could be your 8080 and / respectively. There is no IP required.
In other hand, if you start streaming from command line then you must specify the IP and port {access=http,dst=192.168.0.2:8080} if streaming machine must listen incoming http requests on 192.168.0.2 interface.
Then try to open the url http://192.168.0.2:8080 in your favorite video-player (VLC, or MPC e.g.).
