Telnet Interface Not Working Anymore

[SROSeaner]

I was using VLC with the telnet interface for awhile, but it's not working anymore. In fact, I can't get it to work on any system. Tested on Windows 10 and my home server running Windows Server 2008 R2.

I launch VLC like this:

Code: Select all

vlc.exe --extraintf telnet

I attempt to test with telnet client:

Code: Select all

telnet 127.0.0.1 4212

and

Code: Select all

telnet localhost 4212

In all cases, I keep getting this response:

Code: Select all

Connecting To localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on port 4212: Connect failed

Seems 4212 port won't open. I have disabled all firewalls and even tried setting a different port with the "telnet-port" switch but having NO luck.

Currently using 2.2.4. Have rolled back a few versions and not getting anywhere. Please help!!

Thank you! I read over that posting and used the following:

vlc.exe -I telnet --telnet-host=localhost --telnet-port=4212 --telnet-password="admin"

This worked successfully! Cheers!
