on demand streaming

Postby sepi_1982 » 21 Nov 2006 07:31

Hello,

I would like to use the VLC HTTP interface to put some movie file online so that they can be streamed. Is it possible to do that? Then it would be possible to access those with another VLC player using address such as http://localhost:8080/media/movie.mpg ?

I would be glad to have some guideline about this?
regards
sebastien
