ASF + RTSP+TS = problem

Jean? Rémi?

Okay, I've found the original commit, it says, there should be also a protocol name in cmd. Wiki lies

lua: merge telnet interface into rc

The crappy input buffering code of rc is replaced by the (now) decent
one of telnet. A new telnet transport is relatively cleanly added, and
VLM commands are made available (over any transport). Example of use:

vlc -I rc --rc-host "telnet://localhost:4212"

[postscripter]

But all the old VLM commands seem to be gone now. Should I load VLM explicitly? How?

Jean-Baptiste Kempf: logs from a version from 6 month ago? come on.

Okay, I've got brand new, shining Otto Chriek vlc-4.0.0-20180213-0319-dev-win32's log.
Sucked a certain amount of my lifeblood before I managed to fight it finally

Full log: https://yadi.sk/d/WJXG8ugd3ST6pU

vlc --intf qt --extraintf http --http-host=127.0.0.1 --http-port=4214 --http-password 123 --qt-start-minimized

setup live output #duplicate{dst=rtp{mux=ts,sdp=rtsp://:9090/},dst=http{mux=asf,dst=:8080},dst=display}
control live play

The origin of the temp.asf is ffmpeg:

$Audio = ""
$Video = "VF0520 Live! Cam Sync"
$Fil = "c:\temp\temp.asf"
$Exec = "ffmpeg"
$Cmd = "-report -f dshow -rtbufsize 2M -i %aud% %vid% -r 25 -vcodec wmv2 -b 2M -minrate 2M -maxrate 2M -bufsize 1M -acodec wmav2 `"$Fil`""

And here I also created two logs from both 2.7 and 4.0 reading the same file. All the VLM commands were sent to them at the very same moment.
I suppose, the timestamps-in-log patch was discarded, so we have what we have here...

First the 2.7 window appeared with a video in it.
Then +0.5 sec 4.0 window appeared.
Then +2 sec 4.0 window disappeared
But 2.7 continued playing smoothly.

Hello

[postscripter]

Should I fill a bugreport in the tracker?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Yes.
