VLC: Webcam stream not showing

Question

I am trying to stream my webcam feed through my Network but the receiving client cannot view and get the error: "VLC is unable to open the MRL." I tried to follow the instructions from here.

I tried doing it locally with the Windows 7 Enterprise firewall turned off using HTTP as destination. I created the stream using the destination of HTTP on port 8082 and checked on "Display locally". I set the http port to 8082. I can see my camera feed here fine.

I opened another instance of VLC to view the stream and pointed to http://127.0.0.1:8082, but get the error message: "VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://127.0.0.1:8082'. Check the log for details."

Looking at Messages (verbose 2) debug window displays the following:

Answer 1

and checked on "Display locally"

uncheck this and you get your goal

Answer 2

Try putting in the name of the file for the stream - smth like videostream.asf after the IP of the camera like:

> http://127.0.0.1/videostream.asf

I do not know ig you are using GUI of CLI, but of it is GUI adding the name of the file should prompt you to enter password and user name in a new pop up window. With CLI is is a bit more trickier....
