Video streaming with VLC

To start the video streaming execute:

# vlc -v -I rc movie.avi --sout "#standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=npserver.labplan.southpark:8080)

Since we’re using the remote control interface (-I rc), we don’t need a graphical environment. This feature is specially useful if we want to stream the video without starting an X Window session.

On the client side execute the following command to receive the stream:

# vlc http://npserver.labplan.southpark:8080
