The VideoLAN Forums

I have set up a stream via the VLC media player. I went through the 3 step process and enabled udp://myip and local. I see my video capture in a window but I cannot view from VLC from another machine trying to connect to udp://myip

Do I need to enable UDP on the streaming host?? Any suggestions??

Thanks

Well, that's because you were sending the data to udp://myip only and you weren't sending the data to the other machine.

VLC uses broadcast streaming. If you'd like to implement streaming on demand like what's seen at websites like cspan and cnn, you'll have to run a web server and provide http links to the content.

You can then use VLC to stream via http.

If you'd prefer a more reliable method, darwin streaming server has udp rtsp streaming.
