Config/client use problem

[Bill Eldridge]

Okay, after a bit of futzing around,
I got the Web site performance.vob
to play with the vcl client exactly
*1* time. It seemed that the issue
was that I needed to back down the
server from 0.3.1, but I was never
able to recreate the conditions.
(RH 7.2)

I believe I have my server configured
correctly, since I no longer get errors
starting a file.  I'm trying to figure
out how exactly I should access the
server from the client.  (both
the nice little exotic_animal_sex.mpeg
and performance.vob files play fine in
vlc on its own).

I've tried going back & forth between
vlc & vls CVS & release versions,
MPEG2-TS &  MPEG2-PS, etc.,
nothing really helping me at this point.
(not that it usually does at 2am).

Thoughts or advice would be appreciated
at this point, especially on how the
different VLC options should be set up,
as well as if anyone knows any big problems
with any of these client/server versions.

Thanks,
Bill

input: playing at normal rate

though this comes through even when
the server isn't started.
I've tried syntax like:

vlc udpstream://172.30.0.1:1234

and other styles.
