Streaming - locally ok but not over web
Posted: 09 Jul 2008 05:00
So here's what I've accomplished:
Got VLC showing my video from my tv card (hauppauge pvr-150 s-video feed). I can run Windows Media player and using the local URL (192.168.0.xxx), the video plays fine. When I try to use my dynamic ip (http://23.65.136.12:1234 (I have checked it and it is correct), Media Player reports:
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because a network error occurred. The server might not be available. Verify that you are connected to the network and that your proxy settings are correct."
I am able to use WMP and view a webcam (using Windows Media Encoder) no problem. Why can't I do this with VLC?
I know WMP is ok with the file, because it plays locally, and I know the port forwarding is ok because I can play the webcam!
I'm kind of close to passing on VLC and using an Ethernet video device, but I'm sooooo close!
Anyone??
