Okay here is detailed info on what I did. Keep in mind you will need to change these settings for your user and your ip/port settings:

System Specs:
Gentoo Linux (kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r4)
emerged vlc-0.8.1-r1

Before I emerged vlc I put this line in /etc/portage/package.use
Code:
 
media-video/vlc dvd ffmpeg mpeg mad wxwindows aac dts a52 ogg flac theora oggvorbis matroska freetype bidi xv svga gnutls stream vlm httpd cdda vcd cdio live
The first thing I did once vlc was installed was open the GUI in KDE 3.4, created a playlist, and saved it as vlc.playlist.m3u in my users home directory. The following is just one of my entries for Pocket PC
Code:
 
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,Channel 07 NBC (Detroit) (Pocket PC)
#EXTVLCOPT:sout=#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,acodec=mp3,vb=2000,ab=128}:std{access=http,mux=asf,url=172.20.8.32:8080}
v4l:/dev/video:norm=ntsc:frequency=175250:size=320x240:channel=0:adev=/dev/dsp:audio=0
Then here is the command that I used to run vlc (jbroadway is my user):
Code:
 
/usr/bin/vlc -I http --http-src /usr/share/vlc/http/ --http-host 172.20.8.32:8000 -vvv --color /home/jbroadway/vlc.playlist.m3u
After all this is done, you should be able to open up Betaplayer (I am using 0.9 unstable currently) and open http://172.20.8.32:8080

The stream should work, and you should see your axim connect in the console window after you run the vlc command.

Now, the -I http --http-src /usr/share/vlc/http/ --http-host 172.20.8.32:8000 part of the command used to run vlc starts the http interface. You should be able to access http://172.20.8.32:8000 in Internet Explorer. Anything that you have in your playlist should be listed on this page. You can change the channel by simply clicking on the entry in the playlist that you need.

One major problem I ran into is the frequency to use for each channel. Here is a frequency table that I found for the United States
Code:
 
#ifndef _FREQ_TBL_H
# define _FREQ_TBL_H

#define NTSC_BCAST	1
#define NTSC_CABLE	2
#define NTSC_HRC	3
#define NTSC_BCAST_JP	4
#define NTSC_CABLE_JP	5
