Whee, So it compiles. And the vls.cfg flle looks lt's already preconfiguded 
to use dvd. However the telnet interface seems to be beating me now.

@vls> start
Provider: Telnet
Error: -1
Info: Invalid command

I'm a little unsure how I get it to start streaming. 

Or have I misunderstood this, and is the Readme correct in stating at the 
moment it can only stream mpeg files?
