Problems launching Telnet Interface !

Postby como » 19 Oct 2005 11:42

I would like to use the vlm to create a vod server but I have some problems opening the Telnet Interface.

I tried opening the Telnet Intf by "settings-> add interface -> Telnet Interface", nothing happens...
also by opening the windows command-promt and typeing the command line
"vlc --intf telnet [...] " in vlc directory! :cry:

could someone please give some advise ?

Thanks

You have to launch vlc with :

Code: Select all

vlc -I telnet
and then connect to vlc using a telnet program (like putty if you're under windows) using hostname "localhost", port number "4212" and password "admin".

Thanks for support, but the Telnet is still not runing :(

I installed vlc on two other systems(both WinXP) and I´ve got the same launching problems...
The first time I started Telnet Interface it worked very well... I have no idea what happened...

btw. Thanks for the Tip with PuTTY :mrgreen:

Hello,

Please try using the "add interface" in the main interface, after having opened the MEssages window (View->Messages)

and look for error messages that may help you

Steps:-

1) You can start VLC to work as server for VOD (using RTSP) with following command :-
vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554

2) Then telnet to this server with following command:-
telnet localhost 4212

You will get a prompt to input the password. Put the password as "videolan" , bcos this is what u specified in commandline when u started VLC as VOD server.
