VLC where to configure telnet?

Configuration
1

I am confused. I have supervisor setup and with that added VLC add on. now is it possible I can have two different VLC installs? I mean when working on this, I think I installed VLC in the host Debian. Then went to do the VLC addon.

Say my HASSIO IP is 10.10.0.1. Questions:

  1. is the VLC another install from the host? I am able to run the addon.
  2. Do I use the Hassio IP and port 10.10.0.1:4212? Or another port? or SSH 10.10.0.1:22?
  3. Is telnet client already running?
  4. where are instructions to run/start telnet client on the host?

My log shows:
2021-04-15 20:55:44 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.media_player] Error while setting up vlc platform for media_player

2021-04-15 20:55:44 ERROR (SyncWorker_0) [homeassistant.components.vlc_telnet.media_player] Connection error: Could not connect to VLC. Make sure the Telnet interface is enabled and accessible.

2021-04-15 20:55:53 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config_entries] Error occurred loading configuration flow for integration vlc_telnet: No module named ‘homeassistant.components.vlc_telnet.config_flow’

My ultimate goal is to have HASSIO broadcast text to speech warnings of conditions and/or play one or two radio stations for background music.

Have you found solution since?
I also have this
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'homeassistant.components.vlc_telnet.config_flow'
exception during startups.

VLC_telnet otherwise works fine, but still, it would be nice to have a clean startup without error like this.
