Web interface: player position and speed control
Posted: 14 Nov 2009 20:52
Hi!
I'm developing an application that uses video player and controls it via http interface. Up to date the MPC was seemed the best choice (and it works fine) but I would like to add a support for VLC because of its stability and extended support of different video formats. I have analyzed VLC's 'status.xml' available via the web interface and it lacks some information I need, paticularly
the exact playback position in MILLISECONDS (micro- is OK also) or,
the current frame number (provided with the framerate I can convert it)
Maybe there's another way to get this info from the VLC (not the web interface)?
I have searched through the feature list and this forum but didn't find anything.
The second feature (which is not critically important for me) is a playback speed control via web interface. Should I add it as a feature request or maybe it is implemented already?
