Hello

As i have mentioned earlier VLC's telnet interface is very buggy. For example if you left that password field empty when adding telnet interface from VLC's menu, password wont get disabled.

So only way i got it working was to start VLC from commandline and set no password.
For me VLC and telnet interface works fine also from Windows Vista.

Start command promt, go to the directory where you installed vlc (where vlc.exe is located) and run this command:
vlc -I rc --rc-host :4443 --extraintf wx

Remember that atleast windows version of VLC supports only one telnet connection at time.

I must admit that using VLC with telnet interface is not the ideal way I will contact VLC developers so that they atleast fix that password bug from upcoming VLC 0.9.

Let me know if this wont help.
