I installed vlc 2.1.5 from source code using instructions provided in wiki. https://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_vlc
I am currently using Debian 7.6.

Thanks for you reply.
Would really appreciate your help.

I wrote mod_vlc and have been working with the libvlc author who added

Which OS and version of vlc are you using? If it is a debian distro I
can provide a patch you can apply while rebuilding libvlc.
