[vls-devel] Re: Problems building VLS under windows

[Bill Eldridge]

You want to look at the VideoLan HOWTO
http://www.videolan.org/doc/videolan-howto/en/file.html

% *vls -vv -d udp:192.168.0.42 file:video1.xyz --ttl 12*

where :

    *

      video1.xyz is the file you want to stream ,

    *

      /192.168.0.42/ is either :

          o

            the IP address of the machine you want to unicast to ;

          o

            or the DNS name the machine you want to unicast to ;

          o

            or a multicast IP address .

    *

      /12/ is the value of the TTL (Time To Live) of your IP packets
      (which means that the stream will be able to cross 11 routers) .

When you want to stop VLS, use the key combination *Ctrl*-*c*.


Note that you're swapping your destination address with the video file
Try:

    vls -vv -d udp:192.168.1.200 file:fname.ftype  --ttl l2
