Clicking the Playlist->Internet->Icecast pick causes Lua error messages

  • Started VLC
  • Brought up the Playlist
  • Clicked the Icecast pick

You will get these errors:

[0xb5533710] lua services discovery error: Error loading script /usr/lib/vlc/lua/sd/icecast.luac: lua/sd/icecast.lua:22: attempt to call global 'require' (a nil value) [0xb5533710] lua services discovery error: Error while running script /usr/lib/vlc/lua/sd/icecast.luac, function main(): lua/sd/icecast.lua:42: bad argument #-1 to 'add_item' (string expected, got nil)

It can be reproduced on Debian [1] and on Ubuntu with VLC 2.0.6 and Lua 5.1.
