Unusual use - keyIsPressed function

[jez4]

Hey guys,
i want to use vlc for very weird purpose - when some key is pressed, it should keep on playing (advancing in playlist), but when the key is not pressed, it should wait to finish playing current playlist item and then end in static image (could be last frame of the videos). When we press the key again, it continues playback from next track.

I was thinking of something like that:

Code: Select all

function OnMovieFinish { if KeyIsDown (MOUSE_2) { playNext else stop } } function OnMouseDown { playRandom }

I have never worked with LUA though, so I am not sure, if this is even possible. Could you guide me in another direction how to simply get this working?

Or couldnt it be solved much easier through hotkeys? But I do not know how to capture this IsStillPressed feature...

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

"mouse-pressed" action might be callback-able.

I quite do not understand you. After some search I concluded this as too complex. Instead i am trying to exploit vlc for dot net, where there is easy to add complex logic.

thx anyway.
