Cmd Line Status Ck? Playing, Remaining Time, Standby, etc

[Mel_3]

Can you query VLC "status" from the command line?
- Is it playing a video or an audio file?
- How much play time remains?
- Is it playing a playlist?
- Position in the playlist?
- Remaining time till playlist media is done?
- Is VLC in full screen mode?
- etc... other status checks

Thanks for any help.

No. But you can query these things via RC or HTTP interface.
