I am trying to use the telnet interface, seen here:
http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-h ... /ch05.html
This is what I have tried
Code: Select all
C:\telnet 127.0.0.1 4212
Password:
Welcome, Master
> stop : Unknown command
> pause : Unknown command
>
It lets me log on, but none of the commands seem to work. Should I be sending them in a different way?

in your mentioned page there is an example:
control channel1 play
it's the same with stop and pause.

hmm... More complecated than I thought. This is the series of commands I used:
Code: Select all
vlc --extraintf telnet
telnet 127.0.0.1 4212
new channel1 broadcast enabled
setup channel1 input earlylig2001.mpeg
setup channel1 output :sout=#duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=224.0.0.0:1234}}
control channel1 play
This is the output I see:
Code: Select all
Password:
Welcome, Master
> > > > >
Why doesn't it show me the commands I am typing? Is that normal?
Also, my attempts seems to have no effect of the player.

is it on Win?
We tried it a little in that blind mode, and as far as I remember with no good results. And we used "load filename".
But in linux it works.

Indeed it is on Windows (XP). I can try it tonight (home) on linux, but I'm not sure that will help since we'll need it to work on a windows box in the end. Thanks for your advice.

I think you need to enable "Local echo" on the Microsoft telnet.

So I found the localecho, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
I am wondering if I am sending the filename correctly, is it looking for a full path?
All I *really* want to do is send a pause command remotely. Is there a better way?
Code: Select all
Welcome to Microsoft Telnet Client
Escape Character is 'CTRL+]'
Microsoft Telnet> set localecho
Local echo on
Microsoft Telnet> o 127.0.0.1 4212
