Remote Control Bug, lua script error

[cinetron]

I recently posted this in the Linux forum however I have since found out that this bug affects both Linux and OSX so thought I should post it here as it isn't Linux specific. I am trying to get remote control working using the command.

Code: Select all

vlc --extraintf rc --rc-host=localhost:1234

I keep getting an error :

Code: Select all

VLC media player 3.0.1 Vetinari (revision 3.0.1-0-gec0f700fcc) [0000559a570fb570] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. [0000559a571d5f10] [cli] lua interface: Listening on host "localhost:1234". [0000559a571d5f10] [cli] lua interface error: Error loading script /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vlc/lua/intf/cli.luac: lua/intf/modules/host.lua:221: table index is nil

Does anyone have any thoughts why I would be getting this lua script error. It is happening on both Linux(Ubuntu 18.04 ) and OSX

Thanks

This has already been fixed, AFAIK
