I have played with getting RD to schedule macros to kick off videos played
with VLC.

It worked OK but not great for what I wanted. Partly RD's fault, partly
VLC's fault iirc. I have been meaning to set up a new box and try again
with FREEJ this time.

Basically I want to kick off a video screen (full screen) and then send the
vids to play to that already open screen.

IIRC, the RD problem had to do with scheduling codes and perhaps even
multiple groups for macros.
