Hi all,
(sorry if this mail is duplicated)
we have installed vls and have a test mpg on the machine which we are trying
to unicast (at first, later multicast) stream to a client. I have followed
the instructions but I'm missing something simple I think, because when I
start the job we see no network activity and the client plays nothing.
Any help would be much appreciated.
This is what we have:
- -- VLS.CFG ---------------------------------------------------------------
BEGIN "Vls"
LogFile = "/var/log/vls.log"
ScreenLog = "enable"
SystemLog = "disable"
END
BEGIN "Groups"
monitor = "help|browse|logout"
master =
"help|browse|start|resume|suspend|stop|shutdown|logout|config|program|input|c
hannel|show" END
BEGIN "Users"
monitor = "3BcKWoiQn0vi6:monitor"
bozo = "JKg2TpPerilnw:master"
END
BEGIN "Telnet"
LocalPort = "9999"
END
BEGIN "Inputs"
local1 = "local"
END
BEGIN "local1"
ConfigPath = "/usr/local/etc/videolan/vls"
END
BEGIN "Channels"
client1 = "network"
END
BEGIN "client1"
DstHost = "10.0.0.28"
DstPort = "1234"
Type = "unicast"
Interface = "eth0"
END
- -- INPUT.CFG
---------------------------------------------------------------
BEGIN "Input"
FilesPath = "/tmp/Video"
ProgramCount = "1"
END
BEGIN "1"
Name = "dolby"
FileName = "bt.mpg"
Type = "Mpeg2-TS"
END
we start vls and from the telnet shell:
- -- TELNET LOCALHOST 9999
-----------------------------------------------------
bozo at vls> start dolby client1 local1 --loop
Provider: Manager
Status: 0
Provider: local1
Status: 0
Info: Program dolby started
on the console, where we started vls we get:

- -- ON THE CLIENT -----------------------------------------------------
On the client we choose, from the network option UDP/RTP and use port 1234.
The client's playlist shows "UDP at 1234". Pressing play does nothing and
nothing is displayed.
Any ideas? What don't I understand here?
