Jump to the specified playlist item

[Antr]

It's possible from VLC command line ?

Thanks.

For an existing instance? It depends. You can use MPRIS if your VLC build has D-Bus support.

No, start VLC with playlist (any type) and specified playlist item (preferably in the same command line)

Oh of course that is supported.

Wow, can you provide the command line parameters ?

Thanks.

My current solution with lua script

Code: Select all

vlc.playlist.clear (); vlc.playlist.add ({{path=config.playlist}}) local bPlaylistExists = 1; while (bPlaylistExists == 1) and not vlc.misc.should_die() do bPlaylistExists = 0; PlaylistItem = vlc.playlist.get("playlist") for i = 1, #PlaylistItem.children do if (PlaylistItem.children[i].path == config.playlist) then bPlaylistExists = 1 end end if (bPlaylistExists == 0) and (config.playlistitem <= #PlaylistItem.children) then i = #PlaylistItem.children; while i > 0 do if (i ~= config.playlistitem) then vlc.playlist.delete(PlaylistItem.children[i].id) end i = i - 1 end end vlc.misc.mwait ( vlc.misc.mdate() + 10000 ) end vlc.var.create(vlc.object.libvlc(), "demuxdump-file", "C:\\Test1\\test.mp3") vlc.var.create(vlc.object.libvlc(), "demux", "dump") vlc.playlist.play()

VLC command line:

Code: Select all

vlc --play-and-exit --no-playlist-autostart --extraintf=dummy -Iluaintf --lua-intf=test --lua-config "test={playlist='file:///C:\\Test1\\test.pls',playlistitem=5}"

Probably exists a simpler solution or lua-code ?

Thanks.
