How to control an already open instance of VLC

[Takuza]

So I am a complete noob to all of this, sorry if my terminology is off.

I'm generating and opening a playlist via lua script. Then I would like to use a python script to just control the volume of the already open instance of vlc. Is there a way to do this? seems like the commands in the python package only let you control instances you generate in the python script

Hi,

Maybe try with the VLC http interface. This seems interesting https://pypi.org/project/python-vlc-http/
