Description of problem:

I'm unable to control VLC media player through the web interface after online upgrade (MGA4->MGA5). With MGA4 everything was working with no issues.

Error message(in Web-Browser):

 Error loading /

 lua/intf/http.lua:80: attempt to call global 'loadstring' (a nil value)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

#rpm -qa \*vlc\* \*lua\*

vlc-plugin-lua-2.2.1-1.mga5.tainted
lua-5.2.3-6.mga5
liblua5.2-5.2.3-6.mga5
liblua5.1-5.1.5-9.mga5
phonon-vlc-0.8.2-2.mga5
vlc-2.2.1-1.mga5.tainted
npapi-vlc-2.0.6-7.mga5
vlc-plugin-pulse-2.2.1-1.mga5.tainted
libvlc5-2.2.1-1.mga5.tainted
vlc-plugin-theora-2.2.1-1.mga5.tainted
libvlccore8-2.2.1-1.mga5.tainted
vlc-plugin-common-2.2.1-1.mga5.tainted


How reproducible:

1. VLC:
Tools â Preferences (select "All" radio-button) â Interfaces â Main interfaces(check "Web" radio-button) â Lua â Lua HTTP â Password(set "Passwort") â Apply (restart VLC)

2. Terminal:
# netstat -tunap |grep vlc
>> tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8080            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2451/vlc            
>> tcp6       0      0 :::8080                 :::*                    LISTEN      2451/vlc  

3. WEB Browser:
Go to: http://localhost:8080/ â username:_blank_ >> passwort:"Passwort"

This is either a bug in Lua/VLC or a missing pkg dependency after the upgrade - but I'm not able to inspect any further.
