Hi I'm trying to use vlc to stream some content under remote control.
I'm trying to stream an mp3 file on my hard drive. Using the Stream function in the gui, I can successfully stream this file to http port 8081.
However when I try to stream using vlm it won't work.

Can anyone suggest why?

Here's some messages in the log file when it fails:

Use some telnet interface so you can login and check its status. Make sure you have the command "control mp3 play".

As far as I can see you're showing the Client log only. Where's the server log?
