How to configure VLC as client independent streaming server
Posted: 20 Jun 2010 21:58
I'd like to set up VLC such that I can use any client (i.e. not just vlc) to stream any video on my server. I can handle setting up the individual streams via php, so that isn't an issue. But I can't get a single stream to work when I'm doing it manually. I'm thinking an http stream is the best way to go, but when I try to set up a VOD or broadcast element using http, it won't stream even with a vlc client.
I'm using the following command via the web interface:

In the vlc client I do open network stream->http://192.168.1.2:84 but it does not work in either case. Any ideas?
I'm using the following command via the web interface:
Code: Select all
new test broadcast enabled input "C:\www\video.avi" output #std{access=http,mux=,dst=:84}Code: Select all
new test vod enabled input "C:\www\video.avi" output #std{access=http,mux=,dst=:84}
