Help, I'm stumped.<br><br>I'm trying to use the http interface for VLC as described. It seems to be<br>doing something, but I can't see the index from the remote computer.<br><br>I've scoured the available help files and searched discussions on this<br>
topic, but I can't seem to get it to work. I would like to use the http<br>interface to get VOD from a server containing .avi files.<br><br>server is on os x<br><br>latest version of VLC: (08.6d)<br><br>I have used this server successfully as a streaming audio server using the<br>
yodj php application (<a href="http://www.yodjnet.com/">http://www.yodjnet.com/</a>), and would like to try<br>something similar with video and VLC. From what I've gleaned this should<br>be possible, but I can't seem to get it to work.<br>
<br>I have tried mapping ports, and making sure there is no conflict with<br>apache, but still the same results.<br><br>Here's what I've got:<br><br>Start VLC on server, select add interface, http interface. Message window<br>
