vlc 2.0.2 vlm issues

[doktourtv]

I am having 3 problem I cannot seem to solve with vlm.

I am able to stream video and audio over the internet without problem, however:

In the VLM management window (from remote OR locally), I can ENABLE, PLAY and STOP a stream BUT:

1. I cannot delete the input file. The DELETE button does nothing.
2. I cannot browse the disk to select a new file. When I click on browse it takes me to MY DOCUMENTS and I cannot leave ie go UP from this directory (even clicking the .. only returns a blank screen with only the work CLOSE on it.
3. I am unable to password protect anything. I have created a .access file with username:password and tried putting it in the VLC, the lau and the http directory, but nothing.

I have read the docs and searched everywhere for help but it seems these problems are very uncommon.

The only way I am able to change the viewing file is to re-write my vlm.conf file.

Here is the command line I am starting VLC with:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --ttl 12 -vvv --color --http-port=1234 --vlm-conf=vlm.conf

Here is a copy of the vlm.conf file:

Code: Select all

new Ranch broadcast disabled loop setup Ranch input "D:\movies\Area 407 (2012).avi" setup Ranch output #transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=256,scale=0.5,acodec=mp2a,ab=16,channels=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:1235}

Again, this streams this movie perfectly, however to change it I have to re-write this file with the new movie location and name, as I cannot delete or add in the VLM interface.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I guess no one has any idea on this problem, but here is more info:

I reinstalled version 1.1.9 and all of the above problems were immediately corrected.

Clearly these problems (cannot delete input file name, cannot browse directories, cannot password protect) are bugs in the 2.xx version. I tried installing 2.0.1 and it too had the same problems as 2.0.2.

IF I am wrong, I still welcome any advice on correcting these issues.

Thank you

The first issues seems to be interface related.
