rc interface does not work while there is stdin

Postby dschadlich » 05 May 2009 18:05

Hello, I am having some difficulty getting the rc interface to work when the input is sent via stdin.
When I run the below code, the host is not listening on port 7000

Code: Select all

cat somefile | vlc - -I rc --rc-host :7000
However when i run the below code, the host is listening on 7000.

Code: Select all

vlc somefile -I rc --rc-host :7000
I tried this to test if it was something with having any input on stdin, and it resulting in the host is not listening.

Code: Select all

cat somefile | vlc somefile -I rc --rc-host :7000
On all of the examples above the video does play. I am using vlc 0.9.9a
Thank you for your help,
~David
