[vlc] Re: control VLC via telnet with PHP

[pille]

as far as i know, it is not possible to control the playlist with with
the telnet interface! so reading the documentation wont help.

if you want to control the playlist, you have to use the http interface.
 (not the vlm http interface, this has the telnet functionality)
