NOTE: THIS WORKS ON THE MOST RECENT VLC.1.1.11_32.exe the luggage which can be found in videolan (google it)
THIS IS THE URL FOR ***NEWS: h**p://192.168.1.131/web/stream.m3u?ref=1%3A0%3A1%3A1C7A%3A457%3A1%3AC00000%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A
*the ip 192.168.1.131 is the VU+ ip
we then modify this line to : h**p://192.168.1.131:8001/1%3A0%3A1%3A1C7A%3A457%3A1%3AC00000%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A
then at the bottom we opt to stream:
we then press ADD to modify the port to which we had previously opened in router ( by default vlc operates with port 8080 internal network but port 1234 to stream outside but in this case we changed to port 1243)
then we press the config icon to modify video codec to whichever streams best from your network
press audio and we modify audio codec to whichever streams best from your network
then change TTL to 12
then STREAM:
as we can see it streaming we now check to ensure that it is doing exactly that by opening another vlc :
in this capture the left viewing screen is black but the view was there at the moment of capture
how we opened to view within the internal network is to open vlc ,open media then add the h**p://PCip:externalport ( in this example h**p:/192.168.1.129:1243 )
but to stream outside to external network is to add h**p//HOST:1243 for example : h**p://harriet_totter.dyndns.org:1243to use in our external vlc
This is probably not the most efficient way to stream externally ( I have also tried with vps hamachi ) but it does work.
NOTE: all ports ,IPs etc are/were fictitious and now obsolete as they were only used to make this guide which I hope will encourage others to come up with better solutions as the downside of this is that vlc has to be running in the pc on LAN :(
A BIG THANKS GOES TO MUSOGEEK FOR SHOWING ME THE LIGHT OF THIS ;)
