Driving VLM from a php website

[pootle]

I am writing a php 5 class to enable control of VLM from php.

There have been a few posts about this on this forum, but no-one has posted the answer, so I have put together some php code to do this.

I am running the php website and VLC on Windows server 2003 using IIS, and the code is written to work in this environment. I don't know how well it will work in other environments

I have it basically working, and will post the code shortly in whatever state I have managed to get to!

There may well be much better ways of doing some of this, if you have tested improvements, I would like to hear about them.

I've sort of got things working, it streams mp3, but doesn't want to stream video from mpg files whether in TS or in PS format.

The link below is a single file with a php class and then a simple web page that allows you to see what VLM thinks it has and add new entries - nothing clever, just the basics.

oh yes, this is how I run up vlm on the host....

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password xyza --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554

I'd appreciate any comments, or suggestions as to why I can't stream mpeg files

Oops, sorry, just rename the file to aaatnt.php - it has everything in.

I have noticed this problem with high CPU - If you do the wrong thing at some points driving the serial interface it goes high CPU and stays there - its a real nuisance, it looks like some sort of buffer handling problem.
