Unable to use PROGRAM command over telnet

Postby Anonymous Coward » 12 Dec 2003 17:04

I am using a Windows installation of VLS, version 0.6.2 downloaded from the VideoLAN site.

VLS starts up fine, and my vls.cfg and input.cfg files are basically as the defaults.

I have a "local1" input set up, but when I try to add a program to it, I always get the error shown below. The file exists and is the correct format. It loads perfectly if I add the lines below to my input.cfg file:

Any advice would be very appreciated as dynamic program management would be very useful.

<VALID SECTION OF INPUT.CFG FILE>

BEGIN "2" # another file
Name = "swordfish"
FileName = "C:/TEMP/DVD-Trailers/Swordfish.vob"
Type = "Mpeg2-PS"
END

hello,

Try with only one vls.cfg file: append the input.cfg file to the end of your vls.cfg file.
This should work.

Hi Nitrox,

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately it still does not work even with just one cfg file.

Can anyone post a working cfg file and a log of their TELNET activity when they use the "program" command ? I can then try to duplicate their procedure exactly and then slowly converge their working solution to mine to resolve the issue.

Thanks,

Roger
