VLC 3.0.0 lua interface
Has the lua configuration setting changed in version 3.0? This works in 2.2.2. lua debug: Found lua interface script: C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\intf\telnet.luac lua debug: Setting config variable: config={telnet=host={'127.0.0.1:4212',password='******'}} lua error: Error while parsing "...

Add 'rate' to oldrc
Since noone is working on getting the telnet/luaintf working on Windows (broken since 2.0.8 ), could the 'rate' command be added to the 'oldrc' interface?

Re: Only oldrc remote control available on windows?
Since only oldrc seems to work for VLC > 2.0.8, perhaps the 'rate' command could be added to the oldrc interface?

Re: Get elapsed time of a media file...programmatically
The telnet interface on windows works for versions <= 2.0.8. For versions > 2.0.8, use the oldrc interface (which does not expose the 'rate' command 
, but everything else works). I have no trouble getting responses to get_length/get_time, but I'm not using VB either.

Re: Windows version check
I ended up parsing the NEWS.txt file. Its format is fairly regular.

Windows version check
On windows, vlc --version pops up a window and writes the version text to vlc-help.txt.
Does anyone know how to get the VLC version number for windows without getting the pop-up window?

Re: Windows: Difference between --intf=rc and --intf=rc-quie
Thanks so much for your time and explanation.
--intf=oldrc works on Linux, Windows XP and Windows Vista.
--rc-quiet does not work on Linux, but that's not an issue.

Windows: Difference between --intf=rc and --intf=rc-quiet
Has anyone had issues with --rc=quiet before? I'd like to use the socket without the console window popping up, but when --intf=rc-quiet is specified, it does not even start listening on the socket. This occurs on Windows XP and Vista with both 2.0.8 and 2.1.0. Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600...
