I am playing with the API trying to get something to work.

I run the command vlc -I dummy --rc-host localhost:8000 Sharktale.avi &
and sharktale starts playing in the background.

I then "telnet localhost 8000" and it does not connect.

Am I not starting up the RC connection correctly?

Once I do what is the command to the pause and resume vlc?

Jerry

add -vv and see if vlc actually see an incoming connection

no vlc does not see the connection.

telnet localhost 8000
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused


Jerry

I need to use -I rc instread of -I dummy

it works now.

THanks,
