status.xml returns: attempt to call a nil value 'pow'

Postby ccandreva » 13 Jan 2024 17:06

Running on Fedora 39, vlc 3.0.20-7

Any call to status.xml (or status.json) returns:
Error loading /requests/status.xml

lua/intf/modules/httprequests.lua:37: attempt to call a nil value (field 'pow')

VideoLAN
Lua 5.1 Reference Manual
This happens in a browser or with wget . Commands such as pl_play and pl_stop work, in_enqueue do not, as noted in another thread.
I haven't found any mention of this error searching around. Has anyone seen this ?

** Edit * * : This is present in version 3.0.20-4 also.

Code: Select all
