Happy New Year to all,

I have a project, that is to use VLC player as a video jukebox. OS WinXP SP3

I have a large number of video clips as VOB files, I have named them, Artist - song name.vob, rather than using Explorer and dragging the file into the play list, it would be a idea to list the files, have an Icon, say an artist picture, click on the icon and have the file added to the play list.

I am new to VLC aqnd very limited use of any type of scripting.

I hope you are able to help


Thanks in Advance

How do you want it to work?

the video screen with these images under it for the vob files? or a page with just the images and when clicked on it goes to another page to play and once done you click back to the page with the images?

There's only a certain amount i could do for you the rest would need for you to know basic html so you can add new images and link the vob files too it otherwise its useless making something cause any time you need a tweak u need someone to do it.

I have a single folder with the VOBs file in it, Start a browser, do a scan of the folder, give an icon with the song name and artist, when one click on the required song name start VLC player to play the song.
Any subsequent song would then be added to the play list.

As previously stated I have a folder with all on my video files in it, I am not very good with programming as some of the logic confused the hel out of me.
I think these are the steps.

Get the folder contents, "dir /b /o/n "z:\music videos" >c:\vid\vid.txt

Have an HTMl file with song sorted the file on to Atrist, another sort by Song name

or have a page where one can select song or atrist then search, some sort of menu selection

Then select the song and have then sent to the VLC play list, then after 11 songs have been added to play list go back deleted number one song

Thanks in Advance

Sounds like you'd need a database for the artist/song name.

Also, html is not a scripting language. It just displays stuff. For a script, you'd probably write a javascript file.
