[vlc] Re: VLC unicast streaming

[John Lyons]

One last thing, when we use the HTTP server locally on the box broadcasting
the stream, linux users who connect via HTTP have no problems but not so for 
windows users (It just remains black, or works for a few seconds and then 
freezes). Any idea why this would be happening ?

Thanks,

John
