The VideoLAN Forums

Hi all,

I'm making an application using Flash Builder 4 (Flex) that starts VLC to play videos. I give a playlist as a paramter to VLC. Is there a way to tell when the next video on the playlist starts playing? I would need to catch that in my application. The application can read what is written to stdout, but does VLC ever send that information and if it does, does sending it have to be enabled or turned on somehow? If this won't work, any other ideas on how to get info when the next video starts would be also appreciated.

There should be an event from the LibVLC media player API when the item changes.

But if you're starting the plain VLC with standard interfaces, then no.
