I have up-to-date RH V8.0 on a Pent IV 1.6 ghtz w/512k memory. A 40 gig Hd w/85% free space. I have Cox cable on a cable modem along with the Cox TV setup. I have an AverTV video card installed and it's input is from the Cox cable connector and sound out to a sound system from same card. This works quite well and am able to watch all the cable tv stations fine. Now I recently installed 'vlc' from www.videolan.org and installed that as an rpm. I am at loss as to how to set this up so that I can stream mpeg files and the live videos from ipv4 (I think that is valid interface) I also have a bttv driver installed for the xawtv program that I run for the AverTV card. I have subscribed and posted on the videolan.org help list but no one answers.

The above debug I was able to setup with the vlc settings menu but where do I start it to work ??? Do I have to have xawtv running to view the TV of can I view from the vlc menu ???.
