Bug: playlist on web interface

[DSmidgy]

Hi,

I'm having trouble using playlist in web interface (http://localhost:8080/ or http://localhost:8080/old).
If I choose a channel (example 21), it moves to it. If I then press Next button (in web or in VLC) it starts from the channel 1.

After choosing a web's playlist item, the VLC playlist's item isn't selected (bold). That is probably the cause the next button doesn't work. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?
I also noticed that number buttons do not work like in FripTV. Is there any plan to implement this?

Because I can't report a Trac ticket, can please somebody do this for me?

Thank you,
Dominic

Why can't you report a trac ticket?

On site "https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/" is says:

I went on the IRC channel, but there was no replay to my question if someboty can valideta my account (Trac username is also DSmidgy).
I really didn't saw the point breaking the conversations with my begging for account validation.

You are now validated.

I saw that "goto" command in "rc" console works OK. Is there any way to send a command to that console within normal window command line?
I want to configure HIP (http://www.byremote.com.au/), so I can change playlist item with + and - and with num. buttons on my remote (I execute wget).

I'm not very familiar with C(++), but I looked into the VLC's 0.9.6 source code.

In "modules/control/rc.c", line 1418, there is a line for RC's GOTO command:

Code: Select all

playlist_Control( p_playlist, PLAYLIST_VIEWPLAY, pl_Unlocked, p_parent, p_item );

For HTTP in file "modules/control/http/macro.c", line 220, the NEXT command calls:

Code: Select all

playlist_Control( p_sys->p_playlist, PLAYLIST_SKIP, true, 1 );

I presume the "1" is for 1 item more, because the PREVIOUS command has "-1".

For the PLAY + ITEM command on line 202:

Code: Select all

playlist_Control( p_sys->p_playlist, PLAYLIST_VIEWPLAY, true, NULL, playlist_ItemGetById( p_sys->p_playlist, i_item, true ) );

Maybe that NULL in the line 202 is the culprit?
