Hi,
Is there a way to run VLC, with the commande line, by starting and ending the sequence at a defined time.
Something like:
--startAt hh:mm:ss:fff --stopAt hh:mm:ss:fff

Thank you in advance,
Renaud

--start-time and --stop-time, but you need to specify the time in seconds (not hh:mm:ss).

Great, thanks a lot!
One more question: I've installed wamp on my laptop and would like to run VLC from a php script.
I've tried with shell_exec or system without success
system("C\\VideoLan\\VLC\\VLC\\vlc.exe");
This make the browser keeping loading his page without stopping...

I would like to control VLC on a server with php and perform this kind of call:
system("C:\\VideoLan\\VLC\\VLC\\vlc.exe --start-time=120 --stop-time=600 C:\\VideoLan\\myfile.avi");

Thanks and have a good weekend!
Renaud
