Cannot change http port

[danube]

Hello friends;

I have installed VLC 0.8.1.
My problem is, when I start VLC in command line using the prefix --extraintf=http, i get the following response:

Code: Select all

danube@linux:~> vlc --extraintf=http VLC media player 0.8.1 Janus [00000366] main interface: creating httpd [00000366] main interface error: cannot bind socket [00000366] main interface error: cannot bind socket [00000366] http interface error: cannot listen on :8080 [00000366] main interface error: no suitable intf module [00000001] main vlc error: interface "http,none" initialization failed

When i change the server port in settings and restart vlc, the previous port before changing can be found, not the one i entered. And, no matter what port I enter, I always get the same output.

What's going wrong on my machine??
FYI: It's a SuSE 9.3 running wxgtk 2.6.2

Thanks to everybody,
Thomas

did you try with the --http-host option ?
like

Code: Select all

vlc --extraintf=http --http-host :8888

where 8888 is the port to listen to

Uhm... The problem was that when I edited the port in Input by entering a number into the field and pressed ok, it hasn't beeing saved. When I opened the window again, I saw the same value as before. Bug?

I did it now by using the up and down arrows beside the field. So it saves the values correctly and VLC comes now up without errors.

But now I have troubles to start a playback on my dBox. I can play all those media correctly local on my machine, I can browse through the filesystem correctly by dBox but when I want to start a video playing on the dBox, VLC gives out the following:
