[vlc] streaming http

[Joe Pitts]

Hello,

I was able to successfully stream UDP on my network and over the internet.

I am attempting to stream *.mpg and/or *.wmv  files using http on my network
and over the internet.
The server is Linux FC2(2.6.8-1.521kernel); using vlc 0.7.2
I'm trying to stream http to an XP Pro box on my network using vlc 0.7.2

I have been through the forums/archives for the last week trying to piece
together the procedure to get this to work. The results are below.

Can someone please specify the procedure including the proper settings
(i.e for streaming *.mpg or *.wmv which encapsulating method would be
optimal) using the WxWindows interface by which I can configure vlc to 
stream *.mpg and/or *.wmv using http.

On the Server:
open vlc
openfile
type/browse to the file(s)
check stream output box
select http and enter 127.0.0.1 with 1234 as port

On the Client :
open network stream
select http/ftp/mms
enter address - used a IP Addr (192.168.1.100:1234 address on network); b
servername(www.kangol.homelinux.net:1234)

This is message output from using IP addr:
