rc interface locking

Postby tjenkins » 14 Feb 2008 14:13

HI,
I am using 0.8.6d Janus on FC8.

When I start up the client with remote interface, it locks after first command and I can exit only by double ctrl-c. I am using this to send commands:
echo "goto 2" | netcat -c localhost 12345
echo "goto 1" | netcat -c localhost 12345


[root@localhost vlc-0.8.6d]# ./vlc -I rc --rc-host localhost:12345 ../IPTV.pls
VLC media player 0.8.6d Janus
starting VLC root wrapper... using UID 0 (root)
***************************************
* Running VLC as root is discouraged. *

It is potentially dangerous, and might not even work properly.
Remote control interface initialized. Type `help' for help.

Is it some problem with locking in the playlists?

Well the problem still exist on 0.8.6, the weird thing is that it accepts the first commands list from netcat but seems to ignore it after when it perfectly works if you use netcat manually or telnet... Anyway, i will test with 0.9svn since I build it yesterday :)
