vlc not working

[Ben Gardella]

I can't get vlc to work either.  I have a local mpg2 file.  I try this:

vlc projects/video/streams/starwars.mpg

and I get a window that says "waiting for stream..."

If I try the server:

vlms -d localhost:9999 projects/video/streams/starwars.mpg

it returns:

VideoLAN Mini Server - version 0.1.99h Onatopp - (c)1996-2000 VideoLAN
Playing file projects/video/streams/starwars.mpg
First byte is 0x00 - assuming PS/PES stream
debug: resolving internet address localhost
Found a PTS - entering main loop
Found MPEG video stream at 0xe0, allocating PID 0x20
Found MPEG audio stream at 0xc0, allocating PID 0x40
end of PS file

And the process ends.

Help!
