I'm trying to follow the example of (1, 9.2.4. HTTP streaming) but I'm
getting nowhere:
"9.2.4. HTTP streaming
Stream in HTTP :"
"on the server, run :
% vlc -vvv input_stream --sout
'#standard{access=http,mux=ogg,url=server.example.org:8080}'
•
on the client(s), run :
% vlc http://server.example.org:8080";
Can someone confirm that the two commands work for him/her?
Any input is welcome.
