Would someone be kind enough to help out here. I want to run vlc on one PC and control it from another PC. (both on the lame local network)
I wanted to use VLC RC/Remote Control as opposed to telnet as I understand it is more advanced and telnet is not secure...
I've attempted to follow the instructions here:
http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch04.html
As I read it you launch vlc on one PC using... VLC --extraintf rc
then on the other PC it seems to say use this command line... --rc-host localhost:port
from which I tried... VLC --rc host 192.168.1.104 4212 (where 192.168.1.104 is the ip address of the computer running VLC)
I also tried... VLC --rc host 192.168.1.104:4212 but got the same result... VLC can't parse the command... or some such...
Thanks for any help.
But VLC can't parse that so I'm reading the instructions wrong I guess... also am not sure of the port number.
(I used port 4212 as that is what works for using telnet to control vlc in the case where VLC is on the same computer as the telnet client)
