View Desktop on TV with VLC

Hello,

I followed the tsep by step guide provived at : http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=stream_pc.

however Serviio is not able to pick up a stream on my PC static address. Note i have tested VLC streaming by opening another instance of VLC.

Is there another step to take before seting the live stram on Serviio?

Many thanks.

Was the stream running when you added it to the console.?

Finally, to setup Serviio to play the stream, add your PC's static address to the Serviio Console/Online Sources/Live Stream/Video in the form http://192.168.1.10:8081 and name it “Desktop”. (Note that zip has advised that the stream must be running, as instructed above, when the link is added to the console, else Serviio will not accept the link or display it in the Online menu.) Then on the TV click on the “Desktop” icon and the stream should play.

If not, start it again and refresh the entry in the console.
