VLC commands for Plover

Project description

Plover VLC commands

Add support for controlling VLC from Plover.

Setup

  • create vlc.json in the same directory as your configuration, set those settings that differ from defaults, e.g.:

    {
      "host": "localhost",
      "port": "8080",
      "user": "",
      "pass": "password"
    }
    
  • start VLC with the HTTP interface enabled, e.g.: vlc --extraintf http --http-password password ...

Available commands

  • VLC_add:<URI>: append <URI> to the playlist.

  • VLC_clear: clear the playlist.

  • VLC_play:<name>: play the specified playlist item, or the last active item if not <name> is not specified, e.g.: {PLOVER:VLC_play:click.wav}

  • VLC_pause, VLC_resume, VLC_stop, VLC_toggle_pause: self explanatory.

  • VLC_rate: change the rate of playback, for example {PLOVER:VLC_rate:0.5} to halve the playback speed, or {PLOVER:VLC_rate:2.0} to double it. Percentage and relative rate changes are also supported: {PLOVER:VLC_rate:-10%}.

  • VLC_seek: seek the video, for example {PLOVER:VLC_seek:-10s} to seek backward 10 seconds, {PLOVER:VLC_seek:+1m} to seek forward 1 minute, or {PLOVER:VLC_seek:50%} to seek to the halfway point.

Timestamp support

A custom meta to get the current video timestamp is also provided: VLC_timestamp. For example using {[inaudible ^}{:VLC_timestamp}{^]} would translate to something like: [inaudible 00:08:01].
