AFAIK dummy interface has no control options. So rc or telnet interface might suit you better.

Somewhat over my head, technically Guess I'll stick to GUI in VLC and mocp in CLI. Thanks again for your replies

AFAIK those are only listed in source code http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob;f=modules/control/rc.c;hb=HEAD#l800 When I play 2 tracks, like here: ludo@crunchdesk:~/Modern Jazz Quartet - Portrait$ cvlc 07* 12* VLC media player 1.1.3 The Luggage (revision exported) Blocked: call to unsetenv(&...
