Install and Use

1. Download ZIP archive and unpack it. Under Unix/Linux COPY (DON'T REPLACE) a CONTENT of "http" folder (NOT FOLDER ITSELF) into: /usr/share/vlc/lua/http folder, under Windows - C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\http\ .
2. Start VLC up with http interface:

• Windows: vlc.exe

Tools -> Preferences -> All -> Interface -> Main interfaces -> Web

• Unix/Linux:

cvlc -I http --http-password <your password> --http-host 127.0.0.1 --http-port 8080

for details look at there.

3. Connect to VLC's web interface. Open your favorite web browser and input http://localhost:8080/ or http://<your desired ip address>:8080/ into address bar. Also you can add path ..:8080/mobile.html or vlm.html . Play with it. May be that's all of you need.
4. Now input http://<your ip addr>:8080/4vlc.html and compare with our solution. You can receive the created streams with any player which support a playback of a multicast stream. You can start another instance of VLC and use View -> Playlist -> Network streams(SAP). Choose desired stream and Play it.

Use a lot of big screen devices (TVs, Monitors, Projectors and so on) to view your streams and control them with your old fashion phone with small screen. Don't harm your eyes. Have a nice day.
