How can i get info via http?

http://....:8080/vlm_cmd.xml?command=show

displays nothing.

Maybe there is some documentation about this? I've not found it on the site

You can't do that using the "regular" http pages in vlc. You'd have to create a new command page that uses the vlm_value rpn function instead of vlm_cmd. Note that the full result from show (and some more) is already available under XML format in requests/vlm.xml .
