Im trying to steam an ogg video file from fedora core 4 using the vlc command line, it's not working. It worked using the gui wizard on the same machine with the same file, viewed over the internet on another vlc player. Using the command line vlc, the second machine cant connect to it over the internet. Typing in the addres in the browser also does not offer to download a file.

I created the ogg file by converting an flv file. The ogg file plays on the local vlc player.

I type in:
vlc -vvv /home/AFF.ogg --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=mymachinesip:8080}'

it responds:

remote control interface initialized. Type 'help' for help.

Does any one know why it could work with the gui wizard but not with the command line?

Thanks

I tried another ogg theora file and it worked. Apparently converting a flash flv file to ogg theora left out or changed information needed by libdvdread to work properly.

I would add however, that this does show there is a difference in the way the program handles ogg theora files between gui and command line mode.
