Please create a section for "VLC Modules" under: https://addons.videolan.org/

I want to create a module with common functions to avoid replicate the same code on a lot of scripts and I wouldn't like to use "VLC Other" section since it would be confusing.

I have created a function to get a random number (with auto-seed on the first run), it should work-around bugs under all platforms. It isn't perfectly safe but I think it is the most safe that I can get (it works also under plain LUA). It is here: local rand_table, real_rand function get_rand() loca...

Is there say, a way to rip out the subtitles file, reset the font, and save a new subtitle file for it (.ass, .srt, etc...)? It is an mkv file. To extract MKVToolNix with MKVExtractGUI-2 . You can edit the subtitle with a simple notepad application and use it without the need to re-insert in the vi...

Gmail,
yes I always check spam folder.

Yes, well it is just a trivial privacy problem but switching absolutely everything to HTTPS is certainly better (hopefully now with HTTP/2, TLS 1.3 draft 28 and DNS over TLS).

I think that just a checkbox is enough: URL-encode urls in M3U generated playlists

Note: URL-encode considered as verb in the phrase

I don't think Lua should be allowed to generate actual streams. Performance would most certainly suck. Well, this is just the last resort until someone add the feature to pass custom headers (that shouldn't be hard, I don't need to set cookies or things where security can be a problem but just cust...

It doesn't work for me, any suggestion?

But still is a privacy issue especially if you download it from a public Wi-Fi.

Hi,
I'm not able to login on trac: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/

I have tried to reset password, it say "A new password has been sent to you" but I haven't received any e-mail.

Lua scripts can only generate playlist items, not streams. You may need to write a custom native plugin for that specific use case - but on the bright side, a native plugin might be able to use the low-level HTTP request API. Isn't there any plan to extend the functionality of LUA Addons? They are ...

Extension based on code and ideas from this thread - http://addons.videolan.org/content/show.php/RealDelete?content=167547 Tested only on Windows 8 and VLC 2.1.1. Extension deleted from addons.videolan.org, but here below is the code. function descriptor() return { title = "RealDelete", v...

Previously I was appending the custom headers to the User-Agent but it was blocked in VLC. My script strictly depend from custom HTTP headers, is there a new way to set custom headers? Yes, send your custom HTTP request directly over sockets. The low-level HTTP request API has been not exposed to L...

I haven't tried but maybe this: If you don't want log then this:

Ale5000, you're back???

I haven't too much free time but yes
How are you?

If on 2 PC in the entire world 2 users use the same script in the same second then the random values will collide.
The chance are low if the users are few but more users more chance to collide.

Is there an alternative to get a safer random value?

To feed math.randomseed(), seconds have too much chance to collide from different near calls.

Useragent, yes; custom headers, no. The Rai streaming server don't work at all without setting authentication in the custom HTTP header. Is there any alternative to fix my script? A lot of work was needed for creating the Rai TV script and it is frustrating that it cannot work for a minimal thing. ...

Thanks, do you know how to make the script appears in the add-on manager inside VLC?

Thanks for the reply but the problem is that I no longer get microseconds

In a LUA sd script I was using vlc.misc.mdate and it was working in VLC 1.1.0 (about) but now it no longer work.

Is there a replacement?

Hi,
I'm here again after a lot of time.

I would like to know if someone have written a guide (for developers) regarding VLC Addons in LUA.
The last time I was at VLC 1.1.0 so I would also like to know if there are breaking changes in the current version compared to VLC 1.1.0.

I think this problem was fixed yesterday in trunk.
