First launch the vlc

  % vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0 --rtsp-port 5554

where:

  12 is the value of the TTL (Time To Live) of your IP packets (which means that the stream will be able to cross 11 routers).
  telnet launches the telnet interface of the vlc.
  videolan is the password to connect to the telnet interface.
  0.0.0.0 is the host address.
  5554 is the port on which you stream.

Then you connect to the vlc telnet interface and create the vod object

  new Test vod enabled
  setup Test input my_video.mpg

You can access to the stream with:

  % vlc rtsp://server:5554/Test

where:

  server is the address of the streaming server (IP or DNS)
