Please forgive my rambling here... but if anyone can explain these results I'd really like to hear from them.
Consistently getting Inconsistent results... which is consistency.. ARRRGGGGHHHH! Send command strings to the stream that is a virtual console and maybe they will work, maybe they won't. Sometimes the ^M after the command string is the only thing visible in the console window, sometimes nothing is seen and it works (after a few seconds). sometimes the ^J is seen. If the ^M is seen with the command string VLC will be ignoring that command.... the next command string sent will result in an error from VLC that it does not recognize the command. Almost sounds like a boundry issue somehow. When it does work reliably it always takes the same amount of time to respond/react, but the amount of time varies per session. For example, launch the app, embed VLC, click pause. Count the number of seconds (yes seconds) it takes to respond. If it is successful and took 3 seconds to respond then every command sent will be successful and take 3 seconds to get processed. If it took 6 seconds then every command takes 6 seconds.. perhaps there is a clue in there somewhere... I have never seen it take a non-multiple of three to react. Now I don't know if this is a VLC issue or a GAMBAS issue, it SHOULD work the same as typing the commands in at a console window but it doesn't, so what is the difference and why? Can anyone shed any light on this erratic behaviour? What is the difference between typing at a console and sending output to a stream that is a virtual console? Any and all help is appreciated.
