I am running VLC 2.0.5 on a win-98 system (with the help of KernelEx) and it seems to function just fine (I've been running VLC under win-98 for years as my primary media player). I have enabled the HTTP remote interface, and I'm running an android app (Remote for VLC) on a Polaroid 7" tablet.
On the VLC interface running on what I'm calling the "server", my playlist is (initially) empty, and media library has a single entry (pointing to a "music" directory) that I can open like a tree to show entries for various music folders.
However, on the tablet, I can select either a playlist or media library, and either choice is showing me basically every directory on the hard drive of the "server". What do I have to do to restrict the Library view on the table to match what I've pre-defined from within VLC running on the server?
