[vlc] Re: Problem with execute VLC via Apache

[Pierre-Hugues PERET]

You cannot do what you're trying to do, because the vlc http server is 
running on port 8080 as default, and your php script is using your apache 
server (default port 80).
If you want to send a command to the vlc via php, you should use a submit 
form with the action="localhost:8080" or something pointing to the http 
interface of vlc.
You can do that even with simple HTML form.

good luck !
