Hello,
I'm currently using a Windows XP machine that has VLC installed as a
video streaming client. I have a separate Linux machine streaming
video to port 8100 of the XP machine. On VLC, I open a network stream
with port 8100 and I can see the video.
My question is how do I do the same using Windows Media Player? I
don't see any configuration settings that allow me to specify just a
port #. In Tools->Option->Network, I checked UDP, TCP, and HTTP. The
port range I entered is from 8100 to 8107.
Once I save the configuration, how do I start to receive the streaming
video? I tried File->Open URL and entered udp://@:8100 (got it from
VLC) but the error I got was "encountered unknown error". Can anyone
point me to the right direction?
That's not a vaild protocol - only VLC knows what to do with that
custom udp:// protocol.
Arrange for VLC to encode and broadcast over http on port 8100, using
ASF packetisation. Your URL to File->Open then becomes
http://vlc_machine_ip_address:8100
Presumably you know the vlc_machine_ip_address, which is a numeric IP
