Can't figure out Streaming.
Posted: 07 Feb 2011 21:13
I used to be able to do this, but that was way before 1.0, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong anymore.
I have some .avi files. I want to stream them to a friend, while playing them locally. I simply want to select a file, tell it to play locally, give him my ip address, and let him connect. I connect to the net through a cellphone, so I don't have a router.
If I stream with http, it lets me open the stream locally, but not on another computer in the house (also on a cell, no router), and my friend is unable to access the connection (and he is on a router).
I would really appreciate some help. It's been years since I've been able to get this to work, and I keep looking for tutorials or guides or explanations, and any time I find one, it's out of date, or doesn't help. I'm really getting aggravated, at this point. Thanks in advance.
