Could not find VLC running at localhost:4222

[rcocchiararo]

Hi

I am running VLC 2.2.2 x64, just downloaded TraktForVLC-master, configured and no go :p

I can "telnet localhost 4222" and it connects.

I downloaded python 2.7.11.

Debug log attached.

VLC is my backup for when KODI is unable to play some media or too slow for it, so i can try whatever version of vlc/python you sugest.

Ok, just downloaded vlc 2.2.0 x64 and python 2.7.9 x64 and it seems to work 👍

Will see if updating VLC keeps it working now.

Seems to work with 2.2.2 too, so 2.7.11 for python was the issue, i guess.

Will test more today, yesterday, after it worked with start_debugging, i tried with the normal start and it created a blank log file and did nothing :P

Ok, it does not work with any version 📦

Well, when it's that kind of error, I can't really help! The error comes from the Trakt server directly!

TraktForVLC 2.x makes that issue obsolete - #88
