Looking at vlc it seems it should be possible to use it for better playlist management. Type help from a vlc instance running on the command line and part of the output shows:
+----[ Remote control commands ] | | add XYZ . . . . . . . . . . add XYZ to playlist | enqueue XYZ . . . . . . . queue XYZ to playlist | playlist . . . show items currently in playlist | play . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . play stream | stop . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . stop stream | next . . . . . . . . . . . . next playlist item | prev . . . . . . . . . . previous playlist item | goto . . . . . . . . . . . . goto item at index | clear . . . . . . . . . . . clear the playlist | status . . . . . . . . . current playlist status <snip> So if someone has the time it shouldn't be too hard to get this functionality working. It also hints at some cool overlay stuff but I haven't tried it out yet. John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
