The VideoLAN Forums

somebody wants to explain me how to stream video in a LAN (a private LAN in my house).
how can i set the trasmitting PC and the receiving ones (i got 4 PCs)
do i must have same versions on these PCs.
sorry for the english......

No need to have same VLC version on all computers.
Several ways exists to stream, depending on what you want:
- http streaming (suitable for VOD, stream is initiated if a client ask it)
- rtp/rtsp (VOD, stream is initiated if a client ask it)
- udp streaming (server streams blindly without knowing if someone listen, client are free to listen or not, client do not control playback, etc)

You will find informations on VideoLAN wiki: Documentation:Streaming_HowTo Protocols RTSP VLM VLMa etc
and a sum-up on VideoLAN web site: http://www.videolan.org/streaming-features.html

Try this..

But instead of adding your audio and video device, just add your videos in the media tab.

Hope that helps.
