Is there any way to control the VLC with Logitech's diNovo MediaPad - it is a remote bluetooth commander. They seem to support winamp, wmp, mediaLife at the moment, only. Play / Pause / Stop / Forward & Reverse Search would just be enough. Is there an API / SDK out for extending the abilities of the Logitech Media Pad?

This is application specific. It all depends on your bluetooth control software.
However there are bluetooth clickers for OSX that work for VLC, so it is possible. Someone will just have to develop the system.

So long I did it for myself as follows:

Change some Hotkeys in VLC to work that way:
Q is for "Play only"
W is for "Pause only"
Y for 1 Min back
X for 1 Min forward
V for 10 sec forward
C for 10 sec back

btw, these hotkeys do not really do what they should do. If I press W too long it changes unfortunately to Play Mode. If I press Q too long its behaviour is related. Could be a bug?

Now edit the players.ini in the SetPoint directory:

[Players]
VLC=key,vlc.exe,wxWindowClassNR,VLC media player,xxx,Q,W,F,Y,X,0,1,VLC

[Players.Run]
VLC=path,c:\programme\videolan\vlc

[Players.Display]
VLC=VLC

#{btn|key|msg|emg|cmd|wac},start,end,repeat start,,Donot send Play appcommand at end of FastForward operation
[Players.Seek]
VLC=key,V,,0,1

#{btn|key|msg|emg|cmd|wac},start,end,repeat start,Donot send Play appcommand at end of rewind operation
[Players.Rewind]
VLC=key,C,,0,1

Now you can PLAY / PAUSE (sometimes it works..), with STOP you toggle FullScreen, with LEFT you scan back 1 min, with RIGHT you scan forward 1 min, holding LEFT = back 10 sec, holding RIGHT = forward 10 sec.

I have found an updated solution to allow support for VLC v1.0.0 in Logitech SetPoint v4.60.122...
