Im trying to stream a source in three different encodings, and after reading the streaming guide saw that the video lan manager is the way to control seperate streams through one instance of VLC. However, the html interface gives me a message saying "the vlm http interface is currently brocken. you should use the telnet interface instead." and i cant open the telnet interface at all. can somone please help

launching the telnet interface on linux :

Code: Select all

vlc -I telnet --telnet-password "admin"

on windows :

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -I="telnet" --telnet-password="admin"

You then connect using

Code: Select all

telnet localhost 4212

or PuTTY if you're running windows.
