It would be great to have this all in a page on the webpage, like somewhere here:

There is one other step needed after setting the preferences when starting in GUI mode. That is to turn on the interface. I believe rc interface is called "Console" in the VLC->Add Interface menu.

But either way, GUI or command line, I couldn't get VLC to respond, even though it connects fine. I added the help from VLC to the patch that you originally sent, it's attached.

Attachment: vlc-rc.pd
Description: Binary data

oki...

either start vlc from terminal with something like:

/Applications/vlc/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC --extraintf rc --rc- host localhost:3000

or just start it as usual and apply the settings from "vlc_settings.png".

the patch itself is a little nothing. - i only testet some basic features (play, stop, next playlist item... ) and don`t ask me how i came up with that strange message syntax ("send play play") - sometimes one argument is enough, sometimes not. if you don`t understand what i mean - just try the patch and edit the messages.

if you start vlc from terminal you can get a nice list of arguments after entering "help" when the terminal says that everything is ok and a remote connection is established...

maybe this is already totally obsolete...

some months ago there where some postings about vlc/pd connection over
rc. well i tried it today using "netclient" instead of "netsend".
suddenly the connection works fine. if anybody is interested i can send the patch and the vlc settings (both pretty trivial). ah ja... and this
is for intel mac/pd.extended (latest version i think).
