Surprisingly, request error disappeared after changing port number and rebooting system.

Thanks.

Hey @antonysimstonlivera, can you please tell me:

1. Which version of the VLC are you using
2. Which platform you're in

The below code works for me and I am able to add a second video to the playlist

const VLC = require('vlc-simple-player')

const VIDEO_1 = 'http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE_html5.mp4'
const VIDEO_2 = 'http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4'

let player = new VLC(VIDEO_1, {
  arguments: ['--fullscreen', '--no-video-title']
});

player.on('statuschange', (error, status) => {
  if (error) return console.error(error)
});

setTimeout(() => {
  player.request('/requests/status.json?command=in_enqueue&input=' + VIDEO_2, console.log)
}, 5000)

Thanks.

Did you tried the code above?

Can you also try accessing VLC http API manually?

1. Starting vlc with

   /path/to/vlc --extraintf http --http-password password --http-port 8080 http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE_html5.mp4
   

2. Opening http://:password@localhost:8080/requests/status.json in your browser? (you may need to replace localhost with ip address if you run it on a different machine)

3. Post here what would you get/see
