Thank you, mederi!

Could you please compile the win32 sapi plugin for me (sapi.dll)?

Sorry, but not now. I haven't opened MSVS for a very long time. Need some time for recovery. =)

Rémi, could you please point me to appropriate dev docs which are better to start with? Maybe some suitable examples.

I have some experience in programming with VC++ so I hope it have a sence for me to try to develop such a gizmo (I hope I'm not too presumptuous =) ).

Best regards!

As J-B already wrote, you could get the subtitle text with a custom text rendering VLC plug-in.

Oops... My bad. I misunderstood that point.
Thank you!
Will try to lurk further on this subject.

Well... I would up this topic. Tossing around in many manners I can't find any erm... humane approach to implement showing of subtitles in externall app. All ways lead to duct-taped solutions with one basic defective element: independent parsing of raw subtitles text, in fact it is a rewriting of su...

I just can't find an appropriate solution among existing programmatic interface options. :?: Are there any means to expose currently shown subtitle string via some programmatic inteface (http, RC/telnet, tcp, SendMessage) so it can be ...

Tried several variations. No luck.

Is there any really WORKING sample of user's Lua extension/script for VLC which utilizes vlc.httpd?

Thank you mederi! Well, that's what I've done. Environment: Win7 x64 Pro, VLC 2.2.4, firewall is opened for all incoming connections to vlc.exe. 1. Renamed http.lua into http2.lua . 2. Changed line 35 into vlc.msg.info("Lua HTTP interface 2") just to make it clear. 3. Changed line 336 from...

Hey there! First of all, I'm pretty familiar with programming but pretty new with VLC Lua scripting. I want to create ancillary custom http-server for VLC to expose some dynamic information (e.g. current subtitle) so external applications can randomly read it. It can be realized as an interface or a...
