The VideoLAN Forums

Hi everybody ,

have a problem with streaming with vls and reaching the stream with vlc.

so please first have a look on my config file, it is a very easy one. just want to stream two files, stored on my hd.
and then my questions:shock:
is that config file correct??Where are my mistakes?
And how can I reach that stream in my video lan client? sorry I#m a newbie, but please help me


# vls configuration file

# Application wide settings
BEGIN "Vls"
LogFile = "vls.log" # log file
ScreenLog = "enable" # log to the console
SystemLog = "disable" # log to the systemlog
END

# Security informations :
#
BEGIN "Groups"
# --- Format:
# groupname = "cmd1|cmd2|..."
# --- Example:
user = "help|browse|start|resume|suspend|stop|shutdown|logout|config|program|input|channel|show"
Administrator = "help|browse|start|resume|suspend|stop|shutdown|logout|config|program|input|channel|show"
END

# The section "Users" describes each user
# Use "mkpasswd" to generate the encrypted password.
BEGIN "Users"
# --- Format:
# username = "encryptedpassword:group"
# --- Example:
udo = "jekfrr:Administrator"
ute = "fghrrt:user"
END

# Telnet Administration
BEGIN "Telnet"
LocalPort = "9999"
Use = "true"
END

# Streams sources declaration
BEGIN "Inputs"
local1 = "local" # Local input example)
END



BEGIN "Input"
FilesPath = "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\udo\Desktop"
ProgramCount = "2"
END


BEGIN "1"
Name = "testing"
FileName = "korea.mpeg"
Type = "Mpeg2-PS"
END

BEGIN "2"
Name = "zweiterTest"
FileName = "wm.mpeg"
Type = "Mpeg2-PS"
END



# Video input configuration
BEGIN "local1"
END

# Channel (outputs) declaration
BEGIN "Channels"
client1 = "network"
END


BEGIN "client1" # unicast example
SrcHost = "172.17.40.43" # destination host
SrcPort = "1234" # destination port
DstHost = "172.17.40.46" # destination host
DstPort = "1234"
END





BEGIN "LaunchOnStartUp"
command2 = "start zweiterTest client1 local1 --loop"

END

hey again,

and that is the error, shown me, when I start vls.exe

first try this: I changed a little thing on the input section, there was a little mistake: Begin local1 instead of begin input, just scroll down and have a short look

but what is your error?

thanks very much, sorry I forgot to show the error.
Now I changed the config file, but it is the same error when I start vls:



VideoLANServer v. 0.5.3 ...
2006-06-13 16:41:46 [ERROR/local1] unable to start zweiterTest
2006-06-13 16:41:46 [ERROR/local1] Error: unable to strart streaming of program zweiterTest
Error: unable to create thread
Error: could not open file 'wm.mpeg' : Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden



so the last one, the phat font in english: System can't find the given file
but
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\udo\Desktop
is the definetly the path to the file 'wm.mpeg'
Who knows sth. ? Where could be the mistake in the config.file or in the storage of my file?
Maybe someone of the developers can help




please
okay thx and bye

sorry, more I don't know. maybe vls doesn't work anymore, anybody of the developers know sth?
