how to choose playlist track by commandline?

[vlc_newbie]

Hello,

Is there any way to choose playlist track by commandline option? Or is it possible implement "next media in the playlist" -button as a commandline option? At that moment I am trying to watch web-stream video using: media->open network stream menu and pasting url. The problem is that vlc insert two streams into playlist and opens first one when second one is right one. (First web stream looks distorted and is impossible to watch.) Problem solves when I press "next media in the playlist" -button (changes second track on the playlist), but I would like to do this using commandline and commandline argument(s). Any hints for doing that? I didn't find help from vlc's man pages for this kind of problem.

Not with VLC, no. That said, it can be done with the MPRIS D-Bus interface provided by VLC, on systems with D-Bus.
