I just installed VLC version 0.9.8b and I cannot get the web interface to start. I had no issues with VLC 0.8.6d.
As soon as I start the new VLC and read the messages I see the following:
main info: creating httpd
main error: invalid IP address ::1
main error: cannot add ACL from C:\Program Files\VideoLAN1\VLC098a\\http\.hosts
main error: invalid IP address ::1
main error: cannot add ACL from C:\Program Files\VideoLAN1\VLC098a\\http\old\.hosts
main error: invalid IP address ::
main error: cannot add ACL from C:\Program Files\VideoLAN1\VLC098a\\http\old\.hosts
main info: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
If I try to add a web interface using the tools menu, I read something similar in the "messages" window (see below), and in any case I cannot get access to any web interface.
main error: invalid IP address ::1
main error: cannot add ACL from C:\Program Files\VideoLAN1\VLC098a\\http\.hosts
main error: invalid IP address ::1
main error: cannot add ACL from C:\Program Files\VideoLAN1\VLC098a\\http\old\.hosts
main error: invalid IP address ::
main error: cannot add ACL from C:\Program Files\VideoLAN1\VLC098a\\http\old\.hosts
http error: cannot find any file in directory C:\Program Files\VideoLAN1\VLC098a\\http
main error: no suitable interface module
main error: interface "http" initialization failed
Anybody who can give me a hint on how to solve the problem?
Thanks.
