Following is a quick guide on Howto broadcast local media File OR LIVE TV Channel using TV Tunner Card over the network using VLC media player, and this streaming can be viewed at client pc either via VLC media player or Firefox Web Browser.
REQUIREMENTS:
For Server Mode:
1) Any Windows Operating System like XP / 2003 / Win7
2) TV Tunner Card (For TV Channel) (I used DANNY’s TV card)
OR
3) Local Media Files like Videos MV / FLV /DAT file(s)
For Clients Mode:
1) VLC Media Player OR
2) Firefox Web Browser (First install FIREFOX then install VLC in FULL mode)
Section # 1 : LOCAL MEDIAL FILE STREAMING
1 #) SERVER SIDE CONFIGURATION: [GUI method]
First install VLC Media plyer. [I used 0.98a version in this example].
Open VLC Media Player,
Goto Media > Streaming ,
Now select your desired file and click on Stream button.
See the attached picture.
Now a new window will open and it will give you many option to choose.
# First in OUTPUT options, select HTTP, in address bar type your system Local ip , in my case its 192.168.2.6 and in port, type any available port, I used 1234.
# Now in Profile section, we will use ready made profile name “Windows (wmv/asf).
That’s it. Now hit the STREAM button, and it will start streaming the file over the network.
See the image below.
2# SERVER SIDE CONFIGURATION [CLI Mode]
You can also stream any file using CLI method which is quick (once you get familiar with the idea how streaming works in GUI), its also useful to make batch scripts if you want start Streaming automatically when the system restarts.
CLI for Local File:
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc.exe -vvv c:\vdo.dat :sout=#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=wma,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=192.168.2.6:1234
CLI for TV TUNNER CARD:
vlc -vvv dshow:// :dshow-vdev="713x BDA Analog Capture" :dshow-adev="" :sout=#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=wma2,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:duplicate{dst=http{mux=asf,dst=:1234/},dst=display} :no-sout-rtp-sap :no-sout-standard-sap :ttl=1 :sout-keep
To Add Logo in Streaming:
vlc -vvv --logo-file C:\aa.jpg dshow:// :dshow-vdev="713x BDA Analog Capture" :dshow-adev="" :sout=#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=wma,ab=128,channels=2,sfilter=logo}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=>192.168.2.6:1234

# How to change the channel Which is broadcasting . . .
There are couple of options and controls that you can provide to your users. VLC is very advance and powerful application for all sorts of multimedia needs. Just dig more n more n you will find the solution. You can even create IPTV base project in VLC or simply create Video On Deman VOD which is very easy.
First Open the Tv Tunner viewer and tune all the channels using auto scanning. Then view any channel of your choice, now close the viewer application. Now If you start broadcasting the channel using VLC, it will by default stream the channel that you last viewed by the TV Tunner viewer application.

First thing first, Are you able to view the streaming in VLC media player (Client side) ?
If not, then check your VLC streaming server settings first.

Use the following command. You can also create its shortcut and place it in STARTUP group so it will run automatically every time windows restart.
vlc.exe -vvv c:\vdo.dat :sout=#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=wma,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=192.168.2.6:1234
Just replace the C:\vdo.dat with your required file or list. and also change the IP address to match your ip.

Do some test to troubleshoot the problem.
Try stream a local media file and test it at client end. If local stream is wokring, then we can move on to next step , otherwise you must see your VLC and local setup first.
What TV Tunner card you are using ? The simple method is to first open the channel viewer application which comes with the tv tunner card, then tune the channel, now when you are sure that your tv tunner card have been tunned and you are able to view the channels with its application, close its viewer. Now open the VLC and try to stream it and test in 2nd VLC media player.

Dear, The image you pointed is an conceptual diagram to give an idea.
For example, you have 10 system with channel broadcasting setup, You can setup similar page on your master web server, and link them with the backend channel servers. for example
http://10.0.0.1:1234
http://10.0.0.2:1234
http://10.0.0.3:1234
etc etc . . .
Normally You will be needing One TV Tunner card Per Channel.
If a system is powerful enough, you can Add more then one tv tunner card and use another instance of VLC to broadcast another channel via same system on unused port (Other then first one).
At a friend’s network , I setup 10 Pc (all normal pentium 4 with very low hardware spec. hardware) broadcasting different channel per server and I linked them with the WEB PAGE similar to the image you mentioned. All users can view channel in browser as well as via VLC Media player too.
There are so many different thigns you can implement on your network, All depend on your mind creativity and research n development. Do some R&D and you will find your way.
You can also setup VOD (Video on Demand) via VLC.
IF you wanna go reall advance, Look at IPTV base project. Unfortunately I don’t have enough financial or physical resources, otherwise I would have written an complete howto guide about it.
A friend of mine have worked a lot about IPTV base project, you can contact him at [FAISAL = 0345.5264.147]

Hi Syed,
Its really amazing. Thanks for such a beautiful thing.
One more addition if you can make then it would be great for me.
I want to play a list of songs continuously. So for this purpose I have made a playlist (local files only) of vlc and streamed that playlist.
At server side I can see that songs are playing continuously, but at client side vlc is not playing next song automatically. And for playing next song which is already streamed by server I need to click play button of vlc at client side.
So what to do for making client side also play continuously as server is streaming continuously?

Hello Syed,
I saw the information the IP TV streaming and it was very very interesting with a great how to but I would like to know what I need to do differently if I want to stream a live IP camera through VLC and rebroadcast it to anyone on our website to see the live video. I have tried a few suggestions from multiple sites but the problem has always been with the IP camera file to send/ connect to VLC with IP address and password smoothly. I would appreciate any assistance you can give to accomplish this and I thank you in advance.

Dear Jehanzaib,
I like your blog. I want to share a TV channel on my network using VLC. For this I first check VLC to play the channel on my local computer. The Dany TV cards are U-1000 and U-2000 are installed correctly and working properly using the DANY’s software for the device.
When I use VLC to play the channel for testing ( before setting up the streaming) , the dshow:// method just shows the video from the TV card, and no sound. I select all the audio devices shown in the list but unsuccessful. I check this setup on the following two systems with specifications,
Windows 7 64bit & Windows XP SP2
Dany TV card U-1000 & U-2000
VLC 2.0.8
Please suggest me some solution. Also let me know the exact version of OS , the TV Device and version of VLC in your case which was successful in producing both audio and video from the usb TV device using VLC. Also If you know some software which works like VLC and that you consider an alternative for using VLC for this situation.
Thanks…
