<div><br></div>
<div>First, for "live555MediaServer" to be able to stream
your file, its name cannot end with ".mpeg". If your
file is a MPEG Program Stream file, then it's name must end with
".mpg" (not ".mpeg"). However, if (as seems
likely from the name "dvb_sub") it is actually a MPEG
*Transport* Stream file, then you must rename it to
"dvb_sub.ts", before you will be able to stream it.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Second, the "connection refused" error means that
either</div>
<div><x-tab> </x-tab>-
10.232.67.150 is not the real IP address of the server (that is
running "live555MediaServer"). (Perhaps you have a NAT
box in the middle??), or</div>
<div><x-tab> </x-tab>- You
are not actually running "live555MediaServer" on your server
machine.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Also, I recommend using VLC as your media player client rather
than MPlayer.</div>
