It's unclear to me what you are are trying to do and which integration you're using.

Are you using the VLC telnet integration or the VLC integration?

What do you mean when you say "Local VLC plugin"?

Are you using an add-on to run VLC or are you running VLC directly on the host?

Dear Martin!

Excuse me, here are my answer from email: I am using VLC_Telnet plugin but that name is here Local VLC 🤪 and I am just tried to start that. I sent the log before. It is needed to use my automations with voice (google text to speech service) and other else tasks (Spotify, local music, own alarm system).

Here are the printscreens:

Ah sorry! It is a Hass.io add-on!

Here is the official VLC plugin, but I got the same error:

The integration works just fine anyway.

What have you tried doing with the integration that doesn't work?

Okay! Everything is fine! Sorry for that! I had to restart the system and after that it worked properly.
