I believe they have a source.dsl you can download and try to install that way

Otherwise you might start asking the DSL developers for assistance...it should work ok I think

Latest required libraries
libdvbpsi3-0.1.4.tar.gz
libdvdcss-1.2.8.tar.gz
libdvdread-0.9.4.tar.gz
libdvb-0.2.2.tar.gz

That will also help you figure out how to compile it man!

You do not need vls in order to do streaming.

VLS and VLC both can be "servers" and send streams out via HTTP or other protocols.

I believe that there is a separate repository (not "testing" or "stable", but a 3rd party site) that contains a lot of the VLC and mplayer stuff. I'll see if I can find it.

Here:

Add those to your sources.list and then do an apt-get update or a Synaptic Update to refresh the available packages.

Thats what I thought when I posted it up!

Quote

VLC (initially VideoLAN Client) is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, mp3, ogg, ...) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.

The version of VLC i have on windows does stream - however the linux version off synaptic dosent seem to (0.2.92-8)

If i do a synaptic update wont it kill my xserver etc? (previously discussed, however i think i have xfree86 installed now...)

If i do compile it will it be any diffrent? - ok, just answerd that myself, i have 0.5.6 version sources (synaptic got me 0.2.92-8)

OK, i am gonna give it another shot anyway - hope i have some luck this time.

thanks to everyone who's participated, your input is appreciated indeed!
