Hi
I have attached an attempt at using vlc's python bindings. The main
problem is that the
bindings are only in the repo. They aren't distributed in the release.
Also some files (applies to the others interfaces as well) don't seek.
(mpeg-ts for instance)
Also I had naming problems( the python binding was named vlc,as was
plugins in freevo)
so it wouldn't load load the binding without removing vlc.py plugin
from the video player.
I would suggest rc, though the mediacontrolapi is a better approach long term.
Documented here:
http://wiki.videolan.org/MediaControlAPI
Repository here:
https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/browser/bindings/python
Later
