Hi,
the title is my question, and I´ve found some Infos in Chapter5 and here on Board.

<vlc id="value" param1="stream_position" />
<vlc id="value" param1="stream_length" />
<vlc id="value" param1="stream_time" />

But how shopuld I send it to VLC ?

I´ve tried several combinations but ever i get back the whole source code from the vlc http site.

for e.G. I tried:
http://localhost:port/?get=stream_length
http://localhost:port/?get&stream_length=true

and so on ..

Could anyone give me support ??
thanx a lot.

it's a bit more complicated. try using the new http interface in the nightly builds. use http://<ip>:<port>/requests/status.xml to get all the info you need on the file.

Is vlc 0.8.5-svn still supporting /dboxfiles.htm ?

The application i wrote is for the dbox/dreambox

I´ve downloaded the newest nightly, but what a shock ....

No more Dbox/DreamBox support for getting Fileinformation of PC Hdd..

Should this be implemented for further versions, or is it dead ?? Please NOT do this ... please, please

There is a Problem:
While trying to get a response from the startdir, everything is ok, but would i go one path down, for e.g. startdir= c:/movie == OK, next selection is: c:/movie/folder1, the response I get is ... nothing
