automatically start VLC.exe on http POST

Postby Roelli78 » 21 Jun 2020 12:33

Hi.

Any idea on how to start VLC.exe when I send a http POST message?

(and maybe automatically terminate it after 10 Seconds or so?)

Thanks!

with a web server. the how depends of the web server and language you use.

for instance with python flask

Code: Select all

from flask import Flask import subprocess app = Flask(__name__) @app.route('/', methods = ['POST']) def run_vlc_on_post(): subprocess.Popen(['vlc']) return 'vlc started!'
