I'm using this in my shell to start playing a song in VLC by using remote control. I've written a TeamSpeak Bot, which allows to use this by using Runtime.exec().
/bin/echo -n "add somemedia" | nc -U /tmp/vlc.sock
The problem is, instead of piping the string to the socket it prints this:
"add somemedia" | nc -U /tmp/vlc.sock
This only happens when I do it in my Java application.
I'm using a debian linux if that helps.
