EDIT: Apologies - you can tell I've not been around much for a while - the below is a fix for the Meego/Harmattan version. I'll look at the Fremantle version in a bit...
If anyone is feeling adventurous (and already has the full package installed) you can download and try the following binary (N.B. This is not a package/installer):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/z6awjsmew5dv7c7/vlcremoteqml
Download and copy to /home/user then
Code:
chmod +x vlcremoteqml; ./vlcremoteqml
I've made some changes to the message parsing which should(!) support both vlc 1 and vlc 2 branches.
Obviously you still need to configure vlc on your server.
I've only had a chance to test this against a Linux server, but playback control, media info including album art and directory browsing are working again. getting the directory browsing was just a case of changing the default folder from '~/' (home) to '/' - not happy as this may cause some problems and is less than ideal - but it looks like the lua backend doesn't cope with '~/' as a directory anymore (used to work on all platforms).
If this works for a few people I'll look to get it packaged up.
