How to Password protect VLC Remote Control Login?

Postby Mel_3 » 19 Jan 2013 00:12

If I telnet into the right port on the PC running VLC in Remote Control (RC) mode the RC interface comes right up...

Is there anyway to have VLC require a user name and password before allowing someone access to the RC interface?

Thanks for any help.

RC is mostly meant for loopback connections. It's not secure enough for network usage.
