Question on how to best control VLC with C

Postby stuv » 08 Nov 2010 13:25

Hi everyone,

i'm a happy new Wii user and found a way to access it with C. Now i've started a project to use the Wii remote to control my VLC player.

The question is now how to best access a running VLC instance from C (the project should work for Windows and Linux!). I've found there are multiple interfaces for this purpose but i'm not sure which one to use for both - Windows and Linux.

I hope someone can help me with this or point me to the right forum

I would control VLC with http/xml requests.
