[vlc] trying to setup vod server through firewall

Thu Nov 2 04:50:38 CET 2006

hey, im trying to set up a streaming vod server per the instructions at 
http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/ch05.html
and I can get it to stream a mpeg from a linux server to a linux client just fine on 
a local network.

but when I run the vod server on a remote linux server thats behind a checkpoint 
firewall, It just doesnt work. heres the command im running on the server 
vlc --ttl 34 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host 
0.0.0.0:8080

and I do 
new test vod enabled
setup test input snow001.mpeg
into the telnet interface

and heres what I get on the client when I try to play that vod remotely.

progress

[00000278] livedotcom demuxer error: TCP rollover failed, aborting
[00000267] main playlist: nothing to play

and on the server, I see the following:

what do I need to do to get this to work?
