Hi All

I am trying to work out the syntax for making vlc seek forward/backwards using the web interface by typing the command into the address bar (i am writing a flash interface for controlling multiple vlc) but i can't work it out.

I believe the command is http://ipaddress:port/requests/status.xml?command=seek&val=something

but no matter what i try for the something i can't seem to get vlc to respond, can anyone point me to where i am going wrong, i have tried various things from basic integers to percentages (unicoded correctly).

Cheers

Gareth

Code: Select all

+<int>
-<int>
+<int>%
-<int>%
<int>%
<int>

Of course you need to url encode the symbols:
+ becomes %2b and % becomes %25.
