Pause by command line

Postby Rendon » 17 Jul 2024 22:22

Is it possible to pause a song or video via CMD in windows?

I have a C# application that receives IR decoded signals from an external MCU.
The MCU decodes these IR signals into commands that are sent to the C# application through the virtual serial port.
The application simulates CMD commands to adjust system volume.
I would like to also add play and pause functions for VLC.
Am I using the correct approach? Basically, the app just executes CMD commands. If there is a pause command for VLC, it would be a simple matter of adding it to the app.
But I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to find it. Am I barking up the wrong tree?

On Windows, no.
