Bug #66978 for VideoLan-Client: VLC 1.1.7 Compatibility

Subject:

VLC 1.1.7 Compatibility

Newer releases of VLC (1.1.7) telnet interface have broken compatibility with VideoLan::Client. The newer vlc interface appears to have echo lines in responses. $self->{TELNET}->waitfor("/> /"); times out on sub cmd. sub login continues to work. I have attempted to find a good solution, but the only one that seems to work is $self->{TELNET}->waitfor('/^$/'); Not the best solution, but appears to work! Debugging and testing with numerous regexp replacements for "/> /" where unsuccessful. My programming experience and skill level are marginal at best, so I thought it was best to forward my findings. I am available for testing and willing to assist with resolution.

Tested with VLC media player 1.1.9. Working as expected.
