Comment 4 for bug 1485228

I'm not aware of what is media-hub or mediaplayer-app, but I only use the
command "ubuntu-app-launch mediaplayer-app http://192.168.1.9:8081" on the
phone.

I have tested a number of different codecs and mux options in the vlc
command on the server. The combination in the bug report is the one I found
to work best
(#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=:8081/}),
the others I've tried does not even produce sound on the phone.
