Telnet control interface not working in 2.1.2

Postby tommygr » 05 Jan 2014 04:42

I have been using the telnet interface for years. I just upgraded from 2.0.8 to 2.1.2 and it doesn't. I try to connect on my telnet client and it never comes back or times out.

just using all the defaults and launching with

vlc.exe filename --one-instance --extraintf telnet
tried launching with

vlc.exe filename -I telnet and vlc freezes up in memory and I have to kill the task.

Did something change in the config for the latest version?

Can someone look into this.

Running on Windows.

main debug: looking for interface module matching "telnet,none": 15 candidates
lua debug: Found lua interface script: C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\intf\telnet.luac
lua debug: Setting config variable: config={telnet={host='telnet://localhost:4212',password='******'}}

anyone know what that means?

Who needs to fix the LUA script?
