Any way to stream video to WMP over the internet?

[UncleJohnsBand]

Also....if you you use these settings you should get a really good stream even with a low upload speed.....

OK, logged on locally, here's the error - I cut and pasted the path to the VLC program, so I don't think that's the file it can't find

EWA can not find VLC....The location of VLC that you have in your config is not correct....look at my screen shot at the top of the page....it is only the path....do not include the \vlc.exe at the end.....and make sure it ends in a \.

c:\program files\videolan\vlc\


or wherever you installed it.....

OK, added the backslash, now when I select Stream and select Open external player, I get this:

It is still not finding vlc on your machine.

Did you check and verify on your system that VLC is in-fact installed in the directory that is in the EWA config?

If so....can you start VLC all by itslef (start, programs, video lan, vlc media player?

[mmatheny]

Well, I actually cut and pasted the path to VLC into the field and added the \. I will try running it when I get home.

BTW, is there any special setup for VLC? Or do I just install it with defaults, on both the server and client??

UJB, thanks for all your help on this!

Defaults.

OK, had no problem starting VLC on the GBPVR machine. (via the start menu) - triple checked the path. Stumped!!

[UncleJohnsBand]

Ok.....make the error happen and then go to the following directory to get the web log info and post it here.

Code:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\gbpvr\4d107d39\801bf7b5\assembly\dl3

Look under each subfolder until you find the gbpvrpublic.dll. In that directory you should see a .log file. Open it up and find the area near the botom where the streamer is preparing to launch.

Should look something like this.

Code:
