Understanding rvlc

[albert60]

Hi
I would like to understand how rvlc works with the input.
First I wrote on the console :

Code: Select all

rvlc <<EOF >info >EOF

And I get the result of the info command in the terminal.
But when I wrote

Code: Select all

rvlc <<EOF >info >description >EOF

I've got an error message:

Code: Select all

> Error in `info description' libvlc's "info description" is not a command Unknown command `info description'. Type `help' for help.

Can you please explain to me why didn't give the result of the two commands ??
Thanks for your help

Because you have to give the commands one by one.

But EOF triggers shutdown to rvlc... I have two questions:
1- Is it possible to enter more than one command to rvlc using a redirection of flow ?? (and how if it's possible)
2- How about using keyboard simulators ??
Thanks for your help

I cannot reproduce your problem. I just put each command on separate lines and it executes them in a row.

Hi Rémi
Can you please give me an example of such operation using the commands add and info ??
I want to see how the input and the output do like.
Otherwise do you think I must update vlc ??
Thanks for your help
