VLC - http interface error

I've searched the web and found very few clues to why this happens. To run vlc -I http --media-library works fine as to connect. The problem is that in the play-list I get nothing most of the time. At times my library suddenly may appear, but 95% of the time it won't. Some clicks in the play-list menu give this output: http interface error: this needs to be fixed to use the new playlist framework.

Since I see few reports about this it might indicate that I'm doing something wrong here. I really want it to work because this is a very easy way of getting a remote box (it like a music media system) to play mms streams. I've tried the current version and also the git version from AUR. I tried to build the nightly build but the connection doesn't work at the moment. Anyway same problem with both.

Any suggestions?

Re: VLC - http interface error

I haven't been able to understand why the http code of VLC fail to show playlist and medialibrary. My own solution is simply to edit VLC's index.html and add whatever radio-streams I want. I can't spend more time on this anyway, so more important is that it's working the way I want it to.
