Streaming via VLC

Falcata · 2010-02-02 23:47:38

I'm trying to set up a video stream through VLC. Remote clients are able to use the stream, but they do not play anything and just sit with buffering at 0%. This occurs with computers in my local network as well. My router is also correctly configured to forward port 8080 to my computer.

The only thing I can think of that would block this is /etc/hosts.deny, which is set to "ALL: ALL: DENY". What would I need to add to /etc/hosts.allow in order for streaming via VLC to work?

You would need to use the process name so check top.

What format would I use?

EDIT: I figured it out as this:

vlc: allow

but it still won't work.

Try with:

 vlc: ALL

Perhaps you need VLC root capability to handle streaming.

Falcata - did you ever get this working? I've been playing around with trying to stream from VLC to XBMC on 2 systems in my home and am not having any luck. Was wondering if perhaps you could share with us what you ultimately did to get this working. That is assuming of course that you did eventually have success.

Thanks!
