Hello
I was told that if I write in a terminal

rvlc --rc-unix=socket1

and in an another terminal I write

echo 'help' | nc -U socket1

I will get the result of the help command in the second terminal. But unfortanutely it doesn't work
Can you please help me about this point ??

Not all netcat versions support Unix sockets... Also not all VLC versions.

I'm under the version 1.1.4. Can you please recommend me a version where the sockets work ??

rvlc and socket
