The VideoLAN Forums

It prompts that I have installed vls successfully.

but when I try to launch it by typing "vls" in terminal , it only shows
"VideoLAN Server v 0.5.6 (Jun 17 2004) - (c)1999-2003 VideoLAN"

on terminal, nothing else is showed. Is it lanched ?

and when I type "telnet localhost 9999" , it says
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

what may the problem be? pls help, thanks a lot

I have this trouble, too...

Change port in VLS.cfg, Try 9998
Aplications where K9 use 9999 port
And "telnet localhost 9998"
To understand, the first msdos window with "VideoLAN Server v 0.5.6 (Jun 17 2004) - (c)1999-2003 VideoLAN" is open when launch telnet in other windows Msdos?

I have a similar issue. The program launches and I can connect to the telnet server, but no modules are shown to be loaded.

It just says VideoLAN Server v 0.5.6 (Jun 28 2004) - (c)1999-2003 VideoLAN

I can also start streams and even see the computer I'm streaming to getting bombarded by UDP packets, but the VLC can't play it when listening. I've got VLS running on Linux trying to play on VLC for windows..

Please help.

Ok, I just ran vls -vvv and saw all the modules were loaded properly, but the problem is I still don't see anything on the client side even though the client is getting hit w/ packets.

thanks..

i have the same...
and i checked with the test file and the stream went trough...
but not with my

divx-file

so i think there is no support for this codec in vls... don't know but... i'll go for more documentation.

A suggestion is that if you do not specifically need what VLS has, but simply basic server capability, switch to VLC.
