yeah, been having similar issues, but got there in the end....
my settings on the vlc stream output window is as follows:

play locally = ticked
http = 10.0.0.155
port = 1234

encapsulation method: mpeg ts
transcoding option:
video codec = not ticked
audio codec = not ticked

the strm file content is as below:
http://10.0.0.155:1234

10.0.0.155 = the ip address of the computer hosting the stream

i loaded the strm file from 'my files' if it works a progress bar will appear then slowly loads if it doesn't then the screen just flashes. my original problem was i was only getting audio and that was because i turned on transcoding.
you may need to press the big 'display' button on the remote to bring the playback up and sometimes it goes straight into pause mode so just hit the play button.

good luck!

still doesnt work for me i use an xvid/mp3 coded movie, xbmc 1.1.0 compile date jul 24 2005 with videolan 0.8.2.

i only get sound.

is there an other way to stream?(other program(steam server))
or what am i doing wrong?

thx greetings om_r!

you need to change from ogg to asf then u will get picture and sound. but i have trouble with the stream it will no flow..xbox buffers all the time ;/
