Here's what I'm trying to do.. I have a media server which outputs directly to my TV. The servers stores all my moives in all kinds of different formats .bins, .avi, .img, .divx.. etc..
I've been trying to find a player I can control remotely via http that can play all these formats. Not only play the formats correctly but also have a functional playlist which allows me to enter in titles, and extra information. With video's HTTP interface I've been trying to tie it to a mysql database hooked with php.. the script will store the proper URL http://media:8080/?control=play&file="F:\fir\blehddfd" and additional info such as title, etc.. I am going to too much work here? The URL will be used to interface with videolan's HTTP server of course. Am I missing some extra functionality with the existing playlist?
Additionally with the HTTP interface is there some documentation on other control params it can take? Such as being able to play the file at full screen without having to send the fullscreen function to the server?
thanks..
