I'm not an experienced VCL user.
I want to stream video files from VLC player (1.0.5) via my home network to WDTV HD media player, but after hours of googling I still don't succeed.
Can anyone help me with VLM configuration (destination: HTTP, MMS, UDP, RTP what do I use, which parameters, ports.. ..)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi chritu,

the options depends on what your WDTV HD player can receive, i think you have to do some investigation

Port is realy unimportant, use 20000 for example.

are you sure you want to use vlm? you need to load a file like this via telnet:

Code: Select all

new chanel1 broadcast enabled
setup chanel1 input movie.mp4
setup chanel1 output #rtp{dts=232.0.0.1, port=20000, mux=ts, sap=rtsp://"insert_host_ip":8080/chanel1.sdp}
control chanel1 play

the player has to execute rtsp://"inser_host_ip":8080/chanel1.sdp
your network needs to support multicas ip adresses.

Have you tried just cklicking through the vlc interface?

greets hardt
