@ZeroSixGamme is correct - there’s no indication you need to set a password, but you do have to. Something as simple as 1234 will work. Sadly, there’s no better alternative to VLC - at it’s core it’s 10+ years old with only minimal updates and VLC 4 doesn’t look like it’s going to appear any time soon. But if you want to use playlists (and aren’t using a headset) it is the best option to use.
I figured out what the issue is with SLR wrong password, proper fix will be in next release but for now it seems that opening DeoVR and relogging there seems to fix it, don’t know for how long.
There seems to be some dumb IP check on SLR server side where if you did not make a request from your IP yet, you can’t login. You have to make a request to the api first, then you can login. Dunno what this check helps with tbh.
You can download VLC4 builds and they seem to work fine for me when I was implementing it in MFP.
Thanks for that.
My comment about VLC4 is that it seems to be stuck in developement hell - yes you can download nightlies but there’s no official release nor any details of when there might be. I did look at VLC 4 but I don’t see the http stuff that VLC 3 has for connecting MFP, where might that be located?
Yes I did reset VLC after checking web interface, and I’m not sure what you mean by allow connections as there was no windows prompt, but I see that there’s a problem as I’m unable to go to those two sites with VLC running
I have also set a simple password under Lua HTTP
Actually, I have found the solution, by changing the endpoint IP to localhost:8080 instead of 127.0.0.1, it allowed me to connect to VLC properly
MFP now works fine with VLC, there’s a small issue where if you try to connect MFP while VLC is closed once, it prevents any future connections even after VLC is launched. but that can be fixed by re-opening MFP
