<div>Hi nitrox,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for your help.</div>
<div>Afraid it still doesn't work.</div>

<div>In order to get familiar with using VLS (vlc works fine), I am
now trying to use an installed (binary) version of VLS-0.5.3 on Windows
XP. It doesn't work either. When I type:</div>
<div> vls -vv -d <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="file:fname.ftype">file:fname.ftype</a> udp:192.168.1.200 --ttl l2</div>
<div>as described in the how-to document, it reports invalid TTL
option. If I leave out the TTL option, I get:</div>
<div>"...</div>
<div>2004-01-09 12:46:58 [WARN/Vls] start: too few arguments<br>

<div>"</div>
<div>I am now going over the vls-user-guide to checkout how the
telnet admin interface is used. However I prefer to start with
the simple command line interface.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any help would be most welcome.</div>

Don't worry about the assert error. It is really not a problem.<br>
<br>
You should not define "HAVE_OPENDIR" under windows.<br>
I don't agree with bigben I don't see any error in your configuration
file.<br>
<br>
Does VLS works correctly after that ?<br>
<br>
