This is really easy to set up. Once you have it all set up you can stream movies and videos Over your network. And even control them through a web interface.

Setting Up The Server
First if you don’t have VLC player You can down load it from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Start the VLC Player. From File Menu, select Wizard and the Wizard dialog will show up.


Now with Stream Network radio button checked Click Next.


Then you will be prompted to select an existing stream or choose a new one. We will create a new stream so click Choose.


The Open dialog box shows up. Here you can select a video file which you want to stream. So browse and select a file. Click the Ok button. Then click the Next Button.


Now we will select HTTP radio and enter nothing is the Destination editbox. Click Next.


Then select a format (For Windows, select ASF) and then click Next.


You can enter 1 in the TTL box for now and click Finish to complete the process.

VLC Player streaming video onto network


Your server is now streaming. Now open another copy of VLC Player. From File menu select Open Network Stream


On the dialog that shows up, select the HTTP/HTTPS/ radio button on Network tab and enter localhost:8080 in the edit box beside it. And Click OK


You should be able to see the video VLC Player. At the stage you can pause and restart the video on server and it will reflect in the second instance of VLC Player.


If you are connected to the internet then you can access the video stream from other machines similarly by substituting localhost with your IP address.
