VLC 2.1.5 and telnet login trouble

Hello

Telnet interface won't work for me with VLC 2.1.5.

I use this command to start VLC with the Telnet interface (source : https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation ... HowTo/VLM/).

Code: Select all

vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0 --rtsp-port 554
In my network monitor I can see VLC is running and listening on port 4212.

I use this command to connect myself to VLC Telnet server.

Code: Select all

telnet localhost 4212
But I'm not asked for the Telnet access password and I can't login myself to the VLC Telnet server.

Telnet interface doesn't work in VLC 2.2.0 and VLC 3.0 nightly builds too.
But Telnet interface works with the old VLC 2.0.8 released in july 2013.

Is there a new command line to use Telnet interface with new VLC releases ?
Or is Telnet interface definitively a void in VLC 2.1 and future releases ?

Best regards
