[vlc] vlc wont work

I have RH V8.0 updated to latest. A PentIV w/512 meg mem and 40 gig hd 15% 
used.  I have a working xawtv with my AverTV card on my cable tv from Cox.
That works fine.  I installed an rpm for vlc and when I run 'vlc' with the 
debug set to 2 I get the menu bar for vlc, on my KDE window.

This menu bar has the icons for play rewind etc and when I select the network 
icon and on the open stream menu that comes up I have 'channel selector' 
hi-lited. Then I have address set to 'local host' and port set to '6010' the 
default values. And also set 'stream output' and click on play I get the same 
menu but with channel selector set to 3 (what my cable tv box puts out) All I 
get is a 'no channel' in the menu bar info line.

I am including the output of the debug set to 2 below;

Part of debug output.

gpeg files for video streaming. I have none to test on.
