Both of those play great in the media portal player but if I go to VLC and try to connect to a stream I get nothing. Using a port monitor I can see the port I have assigned (5554 in this case) listening but when I go to VLC and try to connect to a stream ( rtsp://192.168.0.70:5554/stream1.0 ) There doesn't seem to be anything happening other then the error VLC kicks out and if there is a connection log for the server I am not seeing it. I have the drive and folder shared (if that matters). I made this work in the past with a nasty lil hack by manually starting a time shift in the server config manager and then connecting do a different stream ...but it has been so long ago I really can't remember how I got it to work on the other 5 devices in the house...and I did have this running on all of them at once so I know it can be done but I was pretty sure at the time that it wasn't right.So the questions:1: does anything stand out that I am doing wrong trying to get this to connect.. as a note I have tried all variations on the address ....dns name ...loop back ..etc2: how do I know what file name to put in on different devices ...for instance I am sitting at the computer with the tv on ..I assume that will be stream1.0 . If I go up to the next device will it be stream2.0 or stream1.1 ( it is the same channel after all ) and is there a generic name to use, for instance I would think rtsp://192.168.0.70:5554/SomeName would make the connection and the server would take care of the mapping or opening of another stream ..it is a bit ponderous to have to use a different file name every time I move to a different viewer.3. what is the server actually listening for and what  goes on. I could probably do a lot better job of figuring this out if I could wire shark this but not enough info.4. Were and how are stream names made/assigned I can not find any file activity with a name stream** while the server is running so I have to assume it is virtual and actually just maps to the live3-0.ts.tsbuffer file somewhere in the code.5. why oh why is there not a actual link or example shown in the server config page ..... and in the wiki some place. I would have been spared a lot of time with either of those ..knowing I am using the correct connection address and format. any way sorry I got so long winded .. any help is probably good help at this point so thanks in advance.</blockquote>
