Video sharing in (W)LAN using VLC

Find the latest VLC from:http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.8.6d/win32/

Both server and client are using vlc-0.8.6d here.

Server:

1. "Open file"

2. Browse and select a local file to share with the client

3. Enable "Stream/Save" to set VLC as a server

4. Click "Settings" button

5. Enable "UDP" among Outputs, and enter the IP of the client. Leave the port 1234 as it is(or change it both server and client sides).

6. Enable "Play locally" if you want. However, it can tell you whether it is the broken or unsupported video file that makes no ouputs on the client side.

7. "OK"

Client:

1. "Open Network Stream"

2. Leave "Stream/Save" as disabled

3. "OK"

Then the client will able to watch the video shared by the server.
It is really quiete simple. Enjoy!
