Hy,

I entered the correct path C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\http\, activated html interface. 127.0.0.1 is not being saved. 8080 should be the default anyway, but it is strange, that the line is not saved at all. (Write Restrictions?)

I went to the vlc config file and added it there:


[oldhttp] # HTTP remote control interface

# Host address (Text)
http-host=127.0.0.1:8080

The location of the Config File:

Linux / Unix: $(HOME)/.config/vlc/vlcrc (v0.9.0 and above), $(HOME)/.vlc/vlcrc (v0.8 and older)
Mac OS X: HOME/Library/Preferences/org.videolan.vlc HOME/Library/Preferences/VLC (v0.9 and older)
Windows 95/98/ME: C:\Windows\Application Data\vlc\vlcrc
Windows 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\vlc\vlcrc
Windows Vista/7: C:\Users\%username%\Application Data\vlc\vlcrc
BeOS: config/settings/vlcrc

Now the adress appears correctly in the vlc Options.

then, from your library I came up with that script:



It is using my additional keys. they are working with ahk.

But in VLC with the above commands, nothing happens. I see that the script is executing the command line in the ahk window, but vlc isn't doing anything.

Any mistakes?

Oddly the 127.0.0.1 is not being saved on this computer either but the library still works. It is saved on my home computer, don't know what the differences is. I'm guessing it just doesn't get displayed when options is opened again since it does still work.

The only other difference I see is the final backslash which it would seem should be needed but I don't have it. Try without it and see if it makes any difference.

I'm trying to get checked out of my hotel right now and will have limited time to access the internet for the next few days but I'll keep working on this. Let me know if you figure out the problem.

Is there anyway to get a screen grab from VLC using this?

Nope, the number of commands available in the HTTP interface is limited.

The RC interface does have the capture commands but I have not been able to figure out how it works.

What about getting the size of the video being played?

I

The Status commands returns a lot of information about what is being played. You have to parse the returned information to retrieve specifics. If you try the example from the first post, the information returned from the status command is displayed on the first tab of the third window. Here is a function for getting the video size.

Add this to the library,



Here's an example of it's use.

The lib didn't quite work for me at first (with VLC 2.0 and AutoHotkey_L Unicode), I had to:

- Activate VLC HTTP interface (obvious)

- Replace UrlDownloadToVar by


- Replace e.g.

and similar by


Thanks for the library !

PS: I am quite new to this, so use at your own risk

Actually this library doesn't work at all with VLC 2.**. They have rebuilt the the entire http interface. I'm not sure if it works on AHKL either.

I am working on a new library for the new VLC release. I'll post it as soon as I can.
