[nylug-talk] VLC anyone

[Ezra Taylor]

Hello All:
                Have any of you ever used vlc before.  I have a Sun
v40z dual opteron server running Debian sarge running kernel 2.4.32.
I downloaded vlc using apt-get.  I executed the following command:

vlc file:///home/etaylor/073006_dr_350.wmv --sout
"#standard{mux=asfh,dst=10.10.3.114:8080,access=mmsh}" .

 Note, I can view the windows media file from my Mac machine using
Windows media player but can't hear any audio.  I'm totally new to
this and I don't fully understand the streaming jargon yet.  How can I
enable sound/audio on the server side so I can hear audio on the
clients.  Also, I copied and pasted from the vlc docs the command
below without success:

vlc -vvv file:///home/etaylor/073006_dr_350.wmv --sout
"#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=256,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=32,channels=2}:standard{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=10.10.3.114:8080}"

The error message I get from the second command is below.  I plan to
reinstall vlc from source complied with ffmpeg later on.  But before I
do that, I would like some feedback on the erros below.  Thanks for
your help people.
