I've just been playing with this over the last few days. It's a little easier if you turn on SAP Announcing as it allows for less IP messing and for dynamic clients to connect to the server: (As in you specify where you want to stream to *from the client* using the web interface, not in advance on the server.)
---
On the server:
Run VLC and enable the web interface (as shown in the tutorial above). Add all the files you want to stream into the playlist. You now want to set up VLC to announce via SAP.
Go to Settings, Preferences...
Tick the Advanced Options checkbox in the bottom right of the window, then expand "Stream output", "Sout stream" and go to Standard. Tick "SAP announcing" and fill out the "Session name" with something useful like "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". (save)
On your client:
Fire up your browser and go to http://server-ip:8080
Now, in the Stream Output textbox enter udp://your-ip (e.g. udp://10.0.0.2) and click the Sout button. This tells the server to stream to your client IP.
Click on something in the playlist to start it playing.
Run VLC and go to the preferences. Expand Playlists, Service discovery and tick SAP Announcements. (save)
Notice how "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" shows up in the playlist now. Double-click to play :)

today we are going to show you how to stream any type of media file from your computer to another device on your network. We will also demonstrate how to remotely control VLC using any web browser. Using these techniques you could stream video from your office computer to a laptop plugged into the living room TV and control the playlist with your PDA.
