Anyone? I find it hard to believe that no-one knows anything about this feature!!

Hi I have a question about the network synchronisation feature that i was hoping someone could answer for me. Mainly, what does it do, and how do i get it to work. I have a situation where synchronizing multiple instances of vlc would be the ideal solution. Unfortunatley i can't find any information...

Anyone?

Is this just not possible?

Cheers

Hi All I am devloping a program to control multiple instances of vlc via the web interface using flash. However i am at a bit of a loss as to how to do one fuction? What i would like to do is have a button that makes all players return to the first item in it's playlist. I have the players automatic...

Hi All

Quite a simple question really. Does VLC support any video playlists? If so which formats are these.

Also is it possible to start VLC with a default playlist.

Cheers

Gareth

Yeah, thats what i have been trying to do for a few days, where about in the file would the <node> tag need to go? Everywhere i have trie dit so far i invalidate the xml. Doh!!

So any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Cheers

Gareth

Yeah that would be handy wouldn't it, but the error reporting cosists or ot just not poulating the array with data. I really do think the xml support in flash was very much levered in at the last minute, cause it truly sucks!! So any ideas on how i would change this to make it work, i will give it o...

Hi all, I am having some issuse parsing the xml from the playlist.xml file into a flash application. Currently the file produced looks something like this <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> <node id="1" name="Undefined" ro="...

wickid that works!!

Hi All I am trying to work out the syntax for making vlc seek forward/backwards using the web interface by typing the command into the address bar (i am writing a flash interface for controlling multiple vlc) but i can't work it out. I believe the command is http://ipaddress:port/requests/status.xml...

I am currently writing a flash interface to control multiple instances or vlc via the web inteface calls. In doing this i have noticed that if you make multiple calls to the interface at the same time it often crashes or stops responding to inputs. Anyone else experence this problem? Cheers Gareth

Hi I am having a problem with the web interface, it seems that the interface doesn't start the first time you click add interface, you have to open the menu and click a second time before it is added. I have managed to recreate this on both the current release and cvs versions, also on multiple comp...

yeah it must be a but then, i shall submit it. i have also noticed that sometimes, when you add the web interface it isn't actually added and you hav to repeat the action, it's a bit weird really. I am not able to upload it at the moment, and to be honest it is very, very crude!! I can send you the ...

Again thanks a million, i now have a very, very basic flash movie that will play, pause, stop, and toggle fullscreen. Now, onto my next question, sorry, how long a gap between calls do i need to leave? I have tried adding multiple calls to the same keypress, but they are in theory both being called ...

Hi Sorry, me again. I am trying to truncate multiplt commands on one call, along the lines of this http://192.168.0.4:8081/requests/status.xml?command=in_play&input=c%3A%5Cnowthatsastereo.mpg&command=fullscreen However, it only seems to respond to the play command, not any other thing tagged...

sorry me again not logging in!!

sorry.

Hi, Thank you so much for your help!! Thats is exactly what i was looking for. However, for ease of use and idiot proof inspiration i have been asked to have a look at sorting this out in flash. Now i have a decent amount of actionscript knowledge, i just need to understand what i am going to need t...

Yes that is exactly what i was looking for, in fact i feel a tad stupid for not thinking of that myself, doh!! So i am downloading the CVS as we speak, i have also been playing around a bit with the vlm, seems pretty cool, but i woudl ideally like to play a file locallym which i presume wouldn't be ...

I would be really interested in this also.

Ok, so maybe i need to think about this differently. Could i use vlc to produce a certain amount of video streams and push these onto other computers running vlc. Maybe i should explain what i am trying to do a bit more. I am working for the BBC, and we need to set up an office environment (think 24...

Ok, thats a shame

Can anyone else think of an other option/software that would allow this to work?

Also, does vlc respond to any kind of ip triggers?
