Writing code for VLC
Posted: 05 Aug 2013 05:27
I'm not a computer person, so I'll probably ask this question wrong, but please answer as best you can.
In doing some searching, I can (if I understand correctly) go into the code of VLC and change the playback speed to basically any increment. The example in the Q & A that I found had the person increase their playback speed to 1.0008354. That seems like a pretty small increase.
Based on that idea, could code be written that would look for a known usb input signal, and when it saw it, automatically change the speed to, say, 1.0025? And a different signal would trigger a change to 1.0035?
Since my music software already outputs timecode for midi, I could use that info to trigger the VLC player to change it's playback speed to "match" changes in timecode speed.
Am I on the right track?
Thanks
