Any idea how an extension can get notified when a button in the main vlc windows is clicked? For example, the pause button. Thanks.

You cannot know when buttons are clicked. But you can attach to events and variable callbacks.

That's what I want to ask. For example, I know how to subscribe to "input-listener" as below.

function descriptor()
...
capabilities = { "input-listener" }
...
end

-- Input change hook
function input_changed()
...
end

Where to find the event names and callback method names which extensions can use? Thanks.

Please, Jean-Baptiste, could you reveal the secret of this? Just some brief example, please.
How great things could be done by users if there was any better documentation. But now only skilled programmers are able to find out how things work, what parameters to use... I am also trying to share my findings but it is not enough.

Hi
I have been searching a solution how to count pause, and I've just found this for playing status change callback

Code: Select all

function descriptor()
    return {
     ...
             capabilities = { "input-listener", "meta-listener", "playing-listener" }
		    }
end

function playing_changed(stat)
vlc.osd.message("Status:" .. tostring(stat))
end

I think it is good for watch when the movie is paused.

Sorry for bad English
