The VideoLAN Forums

Hi!
I`m building VLC from git. All works fine, but I noticed, that now list of modules contain "oldtelnet" instead "telnet". Searching google I found notice about deprecating telnet module. What should I use instead? I`m using vlc without GUI to stream video. Where I can find about new modules? Is there any replacements for telnet/http in VLC?

Thanx, Serj.

The telnet module was rewriten in lua (the previous one was in C).
oldtelnet => the old C module
telnet => the actual lua module.

So if you have lua on your machine, you can use the new telnet module (all previous features are implemented). In the case you don't want lua on your machine, you can use the oldtelnet module (exactly the old one, only renamed).

Aha, thanks a lot.

Hi there,

for some reason I get this error: [0x1634b28] lua interface error: Couldn't find lua interface script "telnet".

Any thoughts ?

your lua scripts aren't found.
