Hello,

Yes, HTTP is the best method.

How did you enable HTTP on the windows box ? Could you please have a look at the messages window of the VLC that has HTTP enabled, to see if any error appear ?

What do you mean by "it does not work" ?

I dont get the webpage interface to pop up even when its enabled.... I've read several topics on it and I am still as confused and lost as ever....

do you have a firewall enabled on the computer which might prevent TCP port 8080 from being reachable ?

No i run all my computers behind my own personal hardwarefirewall aka Firewolf the Linux 486 bitch box... and even then i can tell it what to allow and what not to.... is there a command line editor for vlc? or any program for dummies to remote vlc?
