Problem accessing http broadcast stream

Hello

I've serving two streams with my vlc streaming server:

First Stream:
new test broadcast enabled
setup test input movie.mpg
setup test output #standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=localhost:8080}
setup test loop
control test play

Second Stream:
new test1 broadcast enabled
setup test1 input test.mpg
setup test1 output #standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=localhost:8080/test}
setup test1 loop
control test1 play

The first stream (localhost:8080) I can access from another pc within my LAN, the second stream (localhost:8080/test), I cannot access from the other pc...

What could be the problem? I have to serve multiple broadcast streams, so I have to use different urls like localhost:8080/movie1, localhost:8080/movie2 etc...

Thanks for your help.
Peter

What version of vlc are you using? How are you trying to access the second stream, through vlc client or on a webpage? I would suggest try to access the second stream with vlc with logging console enabled (click tools in the menu, click add interface, then debug logging). That will give you more feedback on why it's not connecting hopefully and then you have more info to post back here with and search on.

hello

thanks for your answer...problem solved:

- if I use the IP-address of the vlc-server instead of "localhost", like #standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/test}, i can connect to the stream from local and from a second pc in the same network.

Greetings,
