Hi all!

I got the following setup: Win xp sp3 with latest vlc (j-b's fixed flv playback build

and a ubuntu 8.10 (too with latest vlc).
For testing purposes I tried to http stream from one instance to the other which works fine on both OSs. But when I try to stream from the win xp machine (acting as server; ip adr: 192.168.0.110) to the ubutu box (client; ip addr: 192.168.0.159) i always get

Code: Select all

access_http error: cannot connect to 192.168.0.159:8080
access_mms error: cannot connect to 192.168.0.159:8080
main error: open of `http://192.168.0.159:8080' failed: could not create access

Any ideas what might cause this?

Thanks in advance.

Hello!!

Are you sure windows firewall is not blocking access to port 8080/tcp?
I suppose this message is got in the client (Linux)...

hi,

which version of VLC did you use?

try to older version if you used 0.9.*

@ajmm: This error is indeed from the Linux box. And yes I am sure port 8080/tcp is open.
@developer: Yes it is 0.9 and I'll give 0.8.6 a try soon.

What also catches me by suprise is that it once worked seemlesly and now (all out of a sudden) stopped working completely.

I have no problems with Win XP SP3, with vlc 0.9.6, I have ubuntu also, and I am able to open up my vlc stream fine, have you tried opening up the stream on the computer your streaming it on?

And you said your XP's ip was 192.168.0.110, are you putting that IP in the XP computer when you go to stream? Cause it looks like your putting your ubuntu's IP in the XP. Or if that code was from ubuntu's side your entering ubuntu's IP instead of the XP's IP.
