Correct. There's a Windows 2000 box running in the basement with an AV/Link to the TV set. Modern HTPC software doesn't run on w2k and upgrading is currently no option. We were using VLC for years to watch movies, remotely controlled through its mobile web UI. As we use a Squeezebox for audio it was kind of obvious to use it to control VLC as well. Besides, a little pet project in Perl doesn't hurt, although it is quite a funky programming language. erland;390301 Wrote: > I wonder if this could be used for other things as well, for example > transcoding using VLC.

Everything is possible :) I'm trying to keep the plugin as extensible as possible and am open for suggestions. I'd like to add mplayer as another controllable player for example. However, transcoding might be simpler using ffmpeg directly. -- jagertee ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jagertee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8914 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58921 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
