Hi,
Can you tell me how I can clear the playlist or delete some items from the rc interface?
Thank you.

I have a related problem using VLC 0.8.6 on Intel Mac.
After starting VLC with "-I rc --rc-host localhost:4444" I am able to execute most commands. However, clearing the playlist doesnt work. After giving a "clear" command the telnet session just sort of hangs. It does return a prompt but doesn't repond to commands any longer.
This happens also in local rc mode.

same problem with vlc-0.8.6a on a gentoo machine;
start videloan from console: "vlc -I rc"
add a mpeg, and then clear the playlist...
the rc interface seems locked (i have to do a double ctrl-c to quit)
instead vlc 0.8.4a works well
update:
it seems that there is a deadlock in playlist_Clear when called from the rc plugin;
in file: src/playlist/item-ext.c:737
change playlist_LockDelete(...) to playlist_Delete(...)
and works!

Could you check if the bug is still present in the development version?

No, it's not present
I downloaded vlc-snapshot-20070331 sources
when i clear the playlist from the rc interface, i get these messages:
Code: Select all
clear
status change: ( new input: udp://@239.10.10.10 )
status change: ( audio volume: 256 )
status change: ( play state: 1 )
[00000585] main playlist: stopping playback
clear: returned 0 (no error)

Ok cool
Looks like it disappeared on it's own (as a consequence to some core playlist changes i guess). I'll fix it in the upcoming 0.8.6 bugfix release.
