[PD] VLC rc connection

Sat Dec 1 23:32:22 CET 2007

I am using VLC in a project right now and had no luck to control it via
netsend.

Also i needed some output plugins, which can't be changed after starting
the application, so i wrote a small pd object that can start vlc with the
desired
command line options. After opening it, you're able to send all available RC
commands
to it. Starting VLC however only works on a local machine so far, no
starting via network
on a remote computer.

If someone's interested, just contact me by mail and i'll send you the
sourcecode (binary
only available for windows right now). I have to mention that this thing is
only tested by
myself up till now...

oki...

either start vlc from terminal with something like:

/Applications/vlc/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC --extraintf rc --rc-host
localhost:3000

or just start it as usual and apply the settings from "vlc_settings.png".

the patch itself is a little nothing. - i only testet some basic
features (play, stop, next playlist item... ) and don`t ask me how i
came up with that strange message syntax ("send play play") - sometimes
one argument is enough, sometimes not. if you don`t understand what i
mean - just try the patch and edit the messages.

if you start vlc from terminal you can get a nice list of arguments
after entering "help" when the terminal says that everything is ok and a
remote connection is established...
