Ok, for now I have used the rpmforge package of videolan-client.  What
I am trying to achieve is the ability from a client machine to browse
over http, click on a file, and view it in a streamed fashion.

Is this where the VOD stuff comes in?  I have a webserver which serves
http on the same machine as vlc is installed.  I have put the test
file for streaming under the document root, and can see it from a
remote web browser. The documentation doesn't seem to indicate how to
tie vlc and the server together - do I have to configure the webserver
to delegate to vlc if the file is requested by a client?

At present I have a test .wmv file to stream, and tried to pull it
from a debian machine on the same vlan using totem-xine - to no avail
- totem just crashed.
