Does it work when you enter http://192.168.178.20:8080 in a browser? You might
have
firewall issues. It's possible that the server is set to only be accessible
from
localhost (127.0.0.1).

It doesnt even work, when I put http://127.0.0.1:8080 or
http://192.168.178.20:8080
I dont have any firewall running.. I tried the same stuff on my notebook but
there I
also didn´t get it up and running.
when I was browsing the the folders of the vlc-app (on osx) I couldnt find any
.host
file where it was supposed to be. maybe thats a hint?
could u please create some screenshots what the preferences in vlc, the
hostfile and
the foldersturcture with the vlc-hostfile have to look like?
many thnx in advance!!

@stoobz: If you can't access http://127.0.0.1:8080 from the computer running
VLC, you
probably don't have the Web interface turned on in the VLC settings. Make sure
you're running the latest version of the server too (1.0.2).

ok I got the latest vlc-version installed, but still no luck :(
cant even connect to http://127.0.0.1:8080
if I put it without the port like: http://127.0.0.1 then it opens a page just
saying:
"it works" in the upper left corner.
can u please send me a screenshot what to put exactly in the vlc-preferences?
thank u so much!

Files starting with '.' are hidden files. I don't have a Mac, but there is
probably
some option to show hidden files in the menus. If you can find it, would you
mind
writing down detailed instructions so I can post them on the wiki?
Thanks!

hey peter,
I´d be happy to write a tutorial for all the people who have the same probs as
I do.
I now found the .hosts-file and it looks like this:
#
# Access-list for VLC HTTP interface
# $Id$
#
# localhost
::1
127.0.0.1
# link-local addresses
#fe80::/64
# private addresses
#fc00::/7
#fec0::/10
#10.0.0.0/8
#172.16.0.0/12
#192.168.0.0/16
#169.254.0.0/16
# The world (uncommenting these 2 lines is not quite safe)
#::/0
#0.0.0.0/0
is this correct, or do I have to change something?
thnx and have a nice weekend!
steffen.

When you find the .hosts file, replace its contents with:
::/0
0.0.0.0/0

P.S. As the comment says, "uncommenting these 2 lines is not quite safe". Any
computer on the same network (including your phone) will be able to use the
interface
and browse your PC, so make sure you are on a trusted network (e.g., a personal
home
network behind a router).

cool, it finally works! I also had the wrong entries in the vlc-preferences:
instead of the whole ip I just had typed in the port-number...
the next days I will make some screenshots for the wiki, ok?
thnx again!

Hi, I have OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and I can explain how setup correctly VLC
(my
version in 1.0.2)
It's all quite simple: once you have all option displayed (VLC ->
Preferences...)
just go to Interface -> "Main interfaces" and check the HTTP interface in the
page
list.
You don't need to setup other things for basic usage. Save settings and quit
VLC.
Then open Terminal.app (under Utilities) and paste this:
nano /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/http/.hosts
Now, you can edit the file as you want. If you are a newbie, just add at the
end of
that file:
192.168.1.2/255
(where 192.168.1 corresponds to your network configuration) and press "CTRL+x"
than
"y" and finally "ENTER"
Now any device connected to your LAN can see VLC on your Mac.
Last step: start VLC and check if your browser see http://you_ip:8080/
If not, you have a firewall issue. Otherwise it's all set up and you will see
your
VLC service from Android too.
Cheers

For all the newbies out there:
The instruction
"Now, you can edit the file as you want. If you are a newbie, just add at the
end of
that file:
192.168.1.2/255"
isn't quite correct. You have to figure out the IP Adress of your Phone
(Settings-
>Network->WLAN Settings(in German it is WLAN, no idea if it is WiFi or
something
else in english), then tap the Network you are connected to. In the small
window
that opens, you IP Address is shown). Use that address in the following line:
x.x.x.x/32
where x.x.x.x is you address.
The /255 doesn't really make sense and your phone won't have the 2 as last part
of
the address in many networks...
The problem with this simple solution is, that you have to do it again if the
address of your phone changes, which can happen sometimes.

If you see this error :
java.IO.FileNotFoundException:
http://192.168.200.200:8080/requests/browse.xls?dir=
Then you probably need to set the source directory to :
C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\http

I encountered this after the 2.0.5 update. Even after uncommenting my local
subnet I was unable to connect (403 forbidden.) I had to uninstall, change
.hosts, encounter error, reinstall, repeat 3 times before it worked. And it's
not in C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\http anymore, it's in
C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\http

not work
