wxvlc + rc extraintf uses 100% CPU

[Albert]

Hello,
I have a problem with CPU usage under Kubunku 6.10. VLC 0.8.6 run as wxvlc playing a movie uses aprox 10 % CPU, but when I try to use rc (extra) intf (run from Desktop icon)

Code: Select all

wxvlc --quiet --rc-fake-tty --extraintf rc --rc-host localhost:12345 /home/Albert/playlist.m3u

it uses 100 % CPU
Any hint?
Thank you

Albert

The problem is not in extraintf rc, but in --rc-fake-tty, AFAIK.

Hello,
thank you, that was the reason.

So I would like to try --rc-unix socket, but I don't know how (?)

I am able to create and use standard socket

Code: Select all

socket -s 12345 socket localhost 12345

but I don't know how to force VLC to use (or create) socket....e.g.

Code: Select all

vlc -I rc --rc-unix localhost:12345 VLC media player 0.8.6 Janus vlc: could not connect to socket vlc: No such file or directory

and so on

Kubuntu 6.10 + VLC 0.8.6

Unix sockets are not IP sockets. They are files of "socket" type within your filesystem, and as such, the "address" should be a valid file path within a directory you have write access to.
