Hello everyone !!!
I 'have just a little question concerning VoD modules in VLC.

Are VLM HTTP interface and Telnet Interface running the same VoD module or not?

I noticed this: when I create a VoD service through telnet, this service can't be displayed on the HTTP interface.

So The question came to my mind: Is it the same module running by the two interfaces or not? and if it is the same one, why can't the same module be controled by the two interfaces, at the same time?

Moreover, is it possible (or do you think it is possible) to control a stream via rtsp when the VoD service has been created with HTTP interface... I have tried and no result yet....

Thank you for your answers

Yes, they are the same. The HTTP interface to control VLM was kind of broken in 0.8.4. You might want to try 0.8.5-test3.

Yep !!!

I was using vlc 0.85-test-2 and I don't see the telnet VoD services on my HTTP browser...... but I considered your advice and I tried vlc 0.8.6.

I created some VoD services with telnet interface and I checked if I could reach them thanks to HTTP interface, but nothing was displayed...

It is as if the two intrefaces didn't reference the same object ...

Don't know how to link the two of them..... What a strange thing when I consider it !!!!!

Thanks for your prompt answer !!

IS there some kind of "easy way" to make it work ??

Indeed, my problem is that I used HTTP interface to create VoD services, but vlc (client part) reacts as if nothing had been set when I use "rtsp"!!!

Does someone have an idea ?

Hi !!!
I've just seen this message, and I tried to check it!!!

Wang you are right, the telnet interface, can't display any service created with HTTP one, and reciprocally...

That's kind of strange stuff.... can any one tell us if there is something special to do? (or not to do?)

Thank you !!!

Make sure that you use /vlm.html in the http interface. The default web page controls the classic interface, not VLM.

Hi Dionoea !!!
I am sure the URL I use is the correct one :

http://localhost:8080/vlm.html

Both interfaces are working, but the amazing stuff, is that none of them want to display the services creating on the other one.
I don't know, maybe I should try some other nightlies build and test them ...

PS: if you don't have this problem, then I would be glad to know how you make it work.....
Bye.

Are you running like 2 instances of VLC ? or only one ?

I opened both interfaces at the same time
First I launched HTTP and created one vod and one "broadband" service.
Then, I launched VLM's telnet interface using another port than 554 in order to avoid some conflict.
Finally I tried to display the services using

show

command, but nothing appears on the window.
Does another port means another instance of VLM ?

if you launch vlc -I http --extraintf telnet ?
