[vlc] streaming error message in vlc on Linux

[Malcolm Waterman]

I've done some research, the last part of what you're entering in the 8080
is a port identification. Do you have a firewall that might be blocking the
port. If you've got a broadband router or similar device it might have an
internal firewall blocking the 8080 port. Another thing that might be being
blocked is the UPnP, Universal Plug and Play, Audio Visual standard. Can
you check that any networking devices don't have a active block on the port
or anything called UPnP. You might have to check the hardware manufacturer
as to how to check.

Also, you might have to install software to allow UPnP streaming or change
a settings. I'm not sure what either Debian or my distro's defaults are
though regarding UPnP Audio Visual.
