VLC with telnet interface does not show GUI, consumes CPU
I want to control the VLC player via telnet. What I want is to be able to set media, play it and pause it.
I found this command:
vlc.exe -I telnet --telnet-password test
It does work, I can connect but I see no GUI at all:
VLC media player 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax)
Password:
Welcome, Master
The telnet CLI does not echo the commands, which is a bit annoying. Now I tried to add media:
add "D:somepathmovie.mp4"
After that, the vlc.exe process starts eating 2 CPU cores.
When I type playlist I see:
> > +----[ Playlist - Undefined ]
| 2 - Playlist
| 5 - movie.mp4" [played 3935 times]
| 3 - Media Library
+----[ End of playlist ]
The play count is a bit suspicious, right? When I type stop, CPU usage drops to one full core.
So, what's wrong?
