well there you go...
its got an internal webserver option as well, so you can remotely html control its video streaming from that too, using any browser on the LAN /WAN/WEB you like, if you can see the page you can control it.
IT REALLY NEEDS a lot of work though, and some good web page script author to get it into shape, but it exists,.
see the settings/add interfaces/web interface,
and settings/preferences /interfaces/main interfaces/http click advanced.
someone should really try and fix that html page up or write a stand alone rebol GUI script to talk its API.... how about you!
for instance, if you run that VLC on a LAN PC with an ip address of 192.168.0.1
and entered this into that VLC's prefs../ host address
192.168.0.1:8080
then on any any LAN PC browser that you entered
http://192.168.0.1:8080 that VLC webserver page will come up (assuming you added a web interface as above) its got an ugly layout and feel to it, but it works....
did it help you?, and remember this is good for anything VLC can play, it can multicast stream, its not just security webcams, DVDs,Audio, web Video and radio, anything.... probably even datastreams too, if you can make or use some 3rd party app at the other end to collect and use whatever its MC streaming...
