[vlc-devel] Two Bugs and Two questions

[Grae Cullen]

Hey all,

    Bug One: 

When you add the telnet interface you get these error
messages.  The telnet interface works fine, but this is some
kind of bug.  It looks like telnet succeeds the first time,
but vlc tries it again 4 or 5 times.

interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

    Bug Two:

The PPS/SPS information are still not sent the first time, for
VOD.  In the old 0.8.6h it was not sent for the unicast
stream.  Check out:
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=48154 for more
detailed information.

    Question One:

Is there going to be a new setup for reporting bugs?  You have
to go onto irc to get a password to trac?  Very few people
seem to be on the IRC when I go there, and no one know seemed
to know about bug reporting.

    Question Two:

How do I access the Control() function of input.c, if I only
have a pointer to the input thread?  I would like to send an
INPUT_CONTROL_SET_ES command.  I think this should be possible
the interface sends these sorts of commands.  I am in vlm.c
with a pointer to that instance's input thread.  However, I
seem to have hit a road block. 

Thanks,
Grae

God Bless you.
