Hey guys, I've looked all over the place for help on Streaming videos with VLC. I'm trying to stream to a few computers on my network and my version doesnt match any of the tutorials and the wizard doesn't exist in my client. I've tried tons of different settings that don't work and there is no firewall on the router or anything preventing it's broadcast to the network.
Does anyone know how to get this stream working for the new version?
Can't Stream
Re: Can't Stream
I wrote a small how-to over here that might help:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=68649
read that thread.. its very short.
however, instread of selecting a capture device, just select the media you'd like to stream instead.
hope that helps.

Re: Can't Stream
I've already tried that and it doesn't work. I set it up exactly how you've said (I've seen that tutorial and switched out capture for when i added my videos) it sets up and streams sometimes but the other VLC clients can't ever connect to it.
My first attempt the videos actually played and I saw the timer showing how far it's going. Next time I did it, that doesn't happen. Now when I hit add the open dialog box doesn't show. It seems everytime I attempt to do this, it works less and less.
Edit: In uninstalled and reinstalled and I could add videos to the list again, however the stream still goes no where. I did exactly what you said with the HTTP and after I hit the stream button when it's all confirmed, it sits there for like 10 seconds then says "Your input can't be opened", or sometimes it will just not go through and sit there after I just told it to stream. Either way, none are working, and again, there is no firewall or router restrictions preventing the stream, these are all VLC problems.

Re: Can't Stream
my how-to is as basic as it gets and quite a few people have used it with success.
are you trying to stream media to someone on your local lan or outside your lan?
maybe your firewall is blocking some ports?
better yet.. type out the exact steps, and information you are plugging in.
It could be something like, you are plugging the wrong IP information into the http: address box when you are setting up streaming.
this stuff does work because the dj site i run uses those exact steps all the time.
