The VideoLAN Forums

Hello all,

Quick question re streaming to the world wide web:

I have a stream broadcasting on our LAN at my work (a school). I have managed to embed it using HTML and am currently displaying it on our digital signage (using Xibo). This all works very well and I am very pleased with the power and flexibility afforded to me by VLC to achieve this.

However, what I would now like to do is to take it one step further and allow access to the stream on our school's website. Basically so people can follow the feed (a live view inside our resident bird box - riveting stuff!) from home.

I have created html code that allows the feed to render in IE, Firefox and Chrome. When I access these pages locally, they display the feed in all its glory. However, if I try to access the page from out with our LAN, the feed doesn't load. I can only assume that this is due to us operating behind a corporate proxy.

Is there anything I should know/can do to make this happen.

I'm currently using the source http://<network machine ip>:8080 to stream.

Thanks!

I use Xibo and have a similar application as yours. Would you mind posting the html code used to display on Xibo and the browsers? I have an IIS 7 server with public access I can experiment. I do not have a lot of free time to work on code but do not mind tweeking a line here and there.
