Hi,

I am trying to set up the following;

On a location in Holland, I want to use a laptop to send a live stream, captured from a webcam, to a server on a fixed location somehwere in holland. Both using vlc.

The laptop's location is variable, so no fixed IP address. The server does have a fixed location.

My idea was this:
Capture the webcam on the laptop using vlc directshow input. Then UDP unicast stream it to the ip address of the server, port 1234.
The server listens to UDP on port 1234, and outputs it to html streaming, on it's own ip address, port 8080.

The idea is that I can be at any location in Holland, feed a livestream into the server, and anyone can log into the server to see my stream...

Problem is, it doesn't seem to work. I can send out from the laptop, but the server does not seem to receive anything.

I tried having another remote server stream a file using vlc to the main server (mentioned above) and that seemed to work...

erm.. help, please??

Bets regards,
Ron

Are you using this setup? :

I'm using it without problems. Only did need to put the laptop (Computer A in the example) with no-ip.com 's service so instead of using an IP address on the server command line I use something.no-ip.com .

Thanks, it works now!
