I am able to setup multiple VODs thru telnet on port 4212.

I use the following command to start the telnet
vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554

new test vod enabled
setup test input f:\\videostreams\\snowboard_100.mp4

new test1 vod enabled
setup test1 input f:\\videostreams\\snowboard_200.mp4

I connect to the rtsp stream by VLC client and type
rtsp://10.151.8.74:5554/test
rtsp://10.151.8.74:5554/test1

However only the first VOD (test) gets streamed. The second VOD (test1) gives "cannot open" error.

I have looked around but am unable to find any clues as to what might be going wrong.

Make sure f:\\videostreams\\snowboard_200.mp4 actually exists.

Check the message log for any errors on your VLC server (you may need to set verbosity higher).
