Are you sure it's a mpeg 2 file ? Usually they are not named .mpg

If it ends immediatly, you file may not be a mpeg 2 file, but an mpeg 1
( supported in the oncoming unstable version ).

Moreover, the localhost host does not work wuth vlms+vlc, you must use
either your IP address if you have one, or the dummy net module (in the
kernel).
