Guide to Streaming Video in LAN

Guide to Streaming Video in LAN

Most of the people think that video streaming is a very complicated process
Lets make it easy
This is my first effort in writing a Tutorial.

After reading this Tutorial you also will be able to stream
VCD...

[This is not a real solution to ur problem]
Stream on demand , you can use any remote control software like Ultra VNC or Real VNC to remote control your desktop and start which ever movie you want.

Or if you want to watch movies in your home n/w [LAN]
you can share the movie folder and open on any pc in your lan and play directly from the shares no need to use any streaming s/w.

im new to the forum.....
so m posting this here.
i m facing problems in streaming files. i can stream the files using the wizard menu in vlc. but when i try to follow the steps in the tutorials ie using
FILE-->OPEN FILE i can't stream.

when i use wizard, in the status bar i can see STREAMING/TRANSCODING but when i follow da tutorial i can just see the path of file in status bar.

due to this problem i cant stream multiple files too.
i tried searching and it gave me results of changes in command line.
but i dont know the proper syntax too as every time i get the msg
DUMPED CONTENT TO VLC-HELP.TXT

PLZ HELP ME OUT
THKS IN ADVANCE

You can only stream one file from one instance of vlc player at a time.

I am not sure if u can stream multiple files from a single interface.

You can start more instances of VLC if u want to stream multiple files.

Great post Quad Master.

Would you be able to post a guide on how to setup a streaming server and client for a web cam on Windows please. I am having terrible difficulty in doing so. I am ablw to stream video files quite easily but not live webcams
