Hi, I need to open multiple connection on telnet socket, when I try to connect from localhost I get the connection working, but if I try to open a second connection using the same syntax, vlc closes the firs connection I had open.
Could somebody help me plz?
Thank you very much in advance.

This is not implemented.

Hello, thank's for the quick answer, still a question: is it a new feature of the 1.1.x release? 'Couse in the 1.0.x it works... so, is it my fault maybe in config files or is declared that is not anymore possible open several connection via telnet simultaneously?
Thank you v. m.

Hello,

I have the same problem which appeared in v1.1.5 although v1.0.2 allowed several telnet connections.. Also, v1.1.5 requires the --telnet-host in the command line. It may be related...
I had experienced v1.1.3 and I think this version already prevented several telnet connections.
It wouldn't be so harmful if the second connection didn't kill the first one.

Thank you for your work and attention.

Hi,

may I ask you when do you enable multiple connection feature via telnet again (in which release)?
And, where can I download legacy 1.0.6 installable rpm pack from (I upgraded for the newest which is not working my scripts unfortunately)?

Thanks in advance

Any new info? UP.
Thanks in advance

I don't remember seeing a patch for this so far, no.

Thank you. I am waiting for that and sitting on the legacy 1.0.6 version...

And till now?
Thanks

The probability that someone would both:
- write a patch for this,
and
- stumble upon this aging topic and give us an update,
is really low.

Pragmatically, there's two ways to answer your question:
- the fast approach: write the patch yourself and get it merged,
- the slow approach: review the telnet interface change history on the source repository.
