rc control of fullscreen, hotkeys
Posted: 26 Nov 2010 14:11
I'm controlling VLC through the rc interface and need to: (1) Know if the video is in full screen mode or (2) Be able to specify to be in full or not. All I can get to work is toggling full screen by using the fullscreen command. To see the fullscreen status, I tried status, stats, info, description... no luck.
If I use fullscreen with one of the parameters on|off|1|0|true|false I get: Error in `fullscreen true' ...ogram files\videolan\vlc\lua\intf\modules\common.lua:16: bad argument #-1 to 'foo' (boolean expected, got string). So, it looks like it will accept a on/off parameter of some sort but I don't know how to specify it.
Ok, move on to hotkeys for full screen. The way it appears, Hotkeys should put the video into full screen with f and take it out with Esc. However, when I use either one of those, I get something like : Unknown hotkey 'Esc'. So I try hotkey 'Esc'|key 'Esc'|"key 'Esc'"... same with the f command.
So, I'm back to my original questions:
1. Is there a way to tell if the video is in fullscreen mode
2. How can I specify fullscreen on or off explicitly
3. What is the syntax to make a hotkey work
