Hello everyone. I've been able to successfully stream music/video to multiple computers in my house using VLC. It's awesome! I've run into a little problem I was hoping you could help me with.
I have a Sirius subscription that I use with the SiriusXMStreamer. It's far superior to the web-based player as it doesn't time out every 30 minutes. It also acts as a server from what I understand. For example, I enter my Sirius credentials and it connects to Sirius and gives me access to all the channels. I can either use the built in player, or I can take one of the stream outputs and enter it into VLC or WMP. An example of the stream output options are, http://127.0.0.1:51710/sirius?channel=34&format=asx or mms://127.0.0.1:51710/sirius?channel=34. Entering wither of those in VLC or WMP works fine. The problem I'm having is when I try and use one of those in VLC using the Stream option. I want to stream it through RTP to multiple locations throughout my house. When I do that it just won't go. When I try with HTTP I get the error "main playlist: stopping playback." When I try the MMS I get "cannot connect to server." Same link works in WMP.
Is it possible to re-stream a stream so to speak? The main reason I want to use VLC instead of connecting directly to the SiriusXMPlayer is because VLC can keep everything in perfect sync.
Thanks
