Confirm that your Myth box is listening on the port you configured to stream
from. 'netstat -an | grep portnumber'

If the output from netstat shows VLC listening on the port the bind went ok
and it should work. From WMP enter open url http://iporhost:portnumber or
mms://iporhost:portnumber

Also you could enable verbose debugging by entering -vvv in mythstreamtv.sh.

>From this point if your unable to see any connections check into firewall
settings etc. (ala iptables etc)

Hope that helps.

Okay, I installed mpeg2dec-devel and finally vlc compiled fine (thanks
a million James!).

Now, when I go to MythWeb, I set up a stream, I get this error message
from the log:

Starting Stream of 1249_20050118160000_20050118163000.nuv
/video/mythstreamtv/mythstreamtv.sh: line 37: vlc: command not found

Hmm...odd.  So I try a copy/paste of the mythstreamtv command that is
shown on the mythweb page into console.  I get the following:

[root at localhost mythstreamtv]# /video/mythstreamtv/mythstreamtv.sh
'WMV2' 'mp3' '256' '64' '.5' '30'
'1249_20050118160000_20050118163000.nuv' > /video/mythstreamtv/log.txt

Seems like vlc is there.  "which" finds it too.

I do not get a command prompt, so I open up WMP and connect.  It says
the server is not responding.

I ^C out, and get:

signal 2 received, terminating vlc - do it again in case it gets stuck
[00000219] main http daemon: httpd doesn't reference any host, deleting

Any clues on this? 

Geoff
