Unconfirmed Bug: VLC and netcat (Linux)
Posted: 17 Oct 2016 14:16
This may be a stack-related problem with netcat (linux implementations), but here goes...
When using the remote interface, functionality ceases after a while. This happens only with netcat, not telnet and not the openbsd implementation of netcat (yet).
While using the remote functionality over a normal local network,
it eventually just stops working. This problem does *not* occur with *telnet* and it was fixed when I started using the OpenBSD implementation of netcat (ala netcat-openbsd) instead.
I know this question seems obvious, but I'm not an expert so I want to be sure. The bugs seems to be in the way the default netcat on Linux handles the network stack. Soooo...
Can I close this as being a problem with the Linux version?
