Start vlc with telnet

[Niekfct]

Hi

How can I start VLC with the Telnet Interface? So when I click on a shortcut of VLC, I don't have to click view-add interface-telnet interface? Should I use parameters? What are they and how to use them?

vlc -Itelnet

When I try this in a shortcut:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -ltelnet

A cmd-box appears, stating that some content was dumped to a txt file..

And another question: Can I enter a port number to work with in the same way?

-I, like i, not l

[VLC_help]

--telnet-host=<string> Host
This is the host on which the interface will listen. It defaults to
all network interfaces (0.0.0.0). If you want this interface to be
available only on the local machine, enter "127.0.0.1".
--telnet-port=<integer> Port
This is the TCP port on which this interface will listen. It defaults
to 4212.
--telnet-password=<string> Password
A single administration password is used to protect this interface.
The default value is "admin".
