Sound but no video

[snowmanaxp]

I am having problems using EWA to stream videos.

On the machine that is my GBPVR server using VLC through the EWA console to watch a prerecorded video I am getting a black screen with only sound.

I can use the EWA from another computer on my local LAN to watch the videos and it works with sound and video.

Any ideas?

What are you using on the client to view the stream? VLC or Windows Media?

[snowmanaxp]

I am using C on the client.

I downloaded VLC for both PC's today from the same place. (Link in the GBPVR EWA Wiki page)

EDIT:
I should note that I use Vista on the serving PC and XP SP2 on the client PC.
Could it possibly be a codec problem? I can definitly play MPEG-2 files on the server machine.

Could be a codec issue on the client......

post a screen shot of your streaming config settings in EWA.

Also....what happens when you access the video via streaming on the local GBPVR pc itslef?

I have the same problem streaming the file on the GBPVR PC.
Just sound.

Ok....for grins try changing the config to be like the below:

No luck. I havthe same problem.
Do I need an MPEG-4 codec? I don't think I have one on the problem machine.

Can you open the file you are trying to stream with VLC nativley (on the GBPVR PC)....no streaming....just do a file open or double click on the file and have VLC open it?

[snowmanaxp]

Nope. SAme issue.
Sound without any video.

BTW, Thanks for your help on all of this!
