The VideoLAN Forums

Hi all..new member, and new to VLC, so please excuse my ignorance. I will be rather detailed here, as I can not intelligently speak about VLC, so here goes.
Using windows version 0.9.8a, and an Imperex video capture card. I am capturing video that I believe is a moving jpeg (camera video) but it's a remote receiver so I'm not sure of the format.

I can open media, open capture device, and then stream. I am attempting to stream this video over our intranet, so that anyone with VLC can open the video. I have been testing on this machine locally first, by opening another VLC window and attempting to open the network stream (using http://localhost/video.mpg for example).

So what I get on the source version of VLC, I can see the video, and I can see "streaming" at the bottom. On the second session of VLC, I go to media, open network and type http://localhost/video.mpg and no matter what output protocol, encapsulation, codec, etc, it does not show up on the window and I get an error stating VLC is unable to open the MRL (url follows) check the log for details.

Any help would be appreciated.

Problem solved. It's amazing what an upgrade to a later version will do. Now if I can only figure out how to make a batch file that launches VLC gui and sets all the output string correctly
