# openHAB-VLC-Control
Control a [VLC media player](https://www.videolan.org/vlc) with openHAB using the [Exec Action](https://www.openhab.org/docs/configuration/actions.html#exec-actions) and a python script.
**Note: This does not include starting a stream, video or music. The VLC player must already be running before.** As example you are looking [TV with it](https://github.com/Michdo93/openHAB-web-tv).
## Installation
At first you have to install `pyautogui`:
```
pip install pyautogui
```
Maybe on Linux you have to run
```
python3 -m pip install pyautogui
```
On Windows it is definitely
```
python -m pip install pyautogui
```
Then you have to download the `vlc_control.py` file and place it to a path where you can run it inside your VM. On a Linux VM as example:
```
cd /home/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Michdo93/openHAB-VLC-Control/main/vlc_control.py
sudo chmod +x vlc_control.py
```
On Windows:
```
cd C:\Users\
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Michdo93/openHAB-VLC-Control/main/vlc_control.py
```
The paths `/home/` or `C:\Users\` are the default paths which are open when you start a ssh session to this VM. Please make sure that you replace `` with your actual username.
## Usage
By pressing one of the following keys VLC will do the following action. With this the `vlc_control.py` `pyautogui` will press this keys for you. So the [Exec Action](https://www.openhab.org/docs/configuration/actions.html#exec-actions) can be used that `pyautogui` will press the keys for you while VLC is running.
| Key Combination | Function | Description |
| :-------------: |:-------------:| :-----:|
| Space | `playPause()` | Play/Pause |
| Ctrl + Alt + → | `fiveMinutesForward()` | 5 minutes forward |
| Ctrl + Alt + ← | `fiveMinutesBackward()` | 5 minutes backward |
| Ctrl + → | `oneMinuteForward()` | 1 minute forward |
| Ctrl + ← | `oneMinuteBackward()` | 1 minute backward |
| Alt + → | `tenSecondsForward()` | 10 seconds forward |
| Alt + ← | `tenSecondsBackward()` | 10 seconds backward |
| Shift + → | `threeSecondsForward()` | 3 seconds forward |
| Shift + ← | `threeSecondsBackward()` | 3 seconds backward |
| S | `stop()` | stop (not the same as pause. It means to stop the whole playback) |
| + | `faster()` | Faster |
| - | `slower()` | Slower |
| = | `normalSpeed()` | normal speed |
| N | `nextTrack()` | next track |
| P | `previousTrack()` | previous track |
| T | `showCurrentPostionTime()` | Fades in Postion/Time |
| L | `changeLoopOption()` | Change loop option: Loop, Loop one (once), Loop off |
| E | `nextFrame()` | Next Frame |
| Ctrl + ↑ | `fivePercentLouder()` | 5% louder |
| Ctrl + ↓ | `fivePercentQuieter()` | 5% quieter |
| M | `mute()` | Mute |
| F | `enableDisableFullscreen()` | Enable/disable full screen mode |
| ESC | `deactivateFullscreenMode()` | Deactivate full screen mode |
| Shift + S | `createSnapshot()` | Create snapshot |
| Shift + R | `startStopRecording()` | Start/stop recording |
You can call as example the `playPause()` function by running `python3 vlc_control.py playPause`. So at least by calling the functions you have to omit `()`.
## Items
You have to create following items:
```
Group VLC_Control "VLC Control"
Switch VLC_Control_PlayPause "Play/Pause" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_5MinutesForward "5 Minutes Forward" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_5MinutesBackward "5 Minutes Backward" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_1MinuteForward "1 Minute Forward" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_1MinutesBackward "1 Minutes Backward" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_10SecondsForward "10 Seconds Forward" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_10SecondsBackward "10 Seconds Backward" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_3SecondsForward "3 Seconds Forward" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_3SecondsBackward "3 Seconds Backward" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_Stop "Stop" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_Faster "Faster" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_Slower "Slower" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_NormalSpeed "Normal speed" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_NextTrack "Next track" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_PreviousTrack "Previous track" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_ShowCurrentPostionTime "Fade in Postion/Time" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_ChangeLoopOption "Change loop option" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_NextFrame "Next frame" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_Louder "Louder" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_Quieter "Quieter" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_Mute "Mute" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_ToggleFullscreen "Toggle fullscreen" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_DeactivateFullscreen "Deactivate fullscreen" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_CreateSnapshot "Create snapshot" (VLC_Control)
Switch VLC_Control_StartStopRecording "Start/stop recording" (VLC_Control)
```
## Rules
In the next step you have to add following rules. One important thing is that the `Switch` items will receive an post update to `OFF`. This is needed so that one of the buttons created later for the sitemap, can be clicked again and again. One would like to switch louder or fast forward several times in succession or increase the speed, etc. In addition, you toggle the play/pause or other input options back and forth.

You have to replace `` and `` with the username and password of your remote computer. Also you have to replace `` with the ip address of your remote computer.
## Sitemaps
At least you have to add following to your sitemap:
```
Text label="VLC Control" icon="screen" {
Switch item=VLC_Control_PlayPause label="Play/Pause" icon="exec_restart" mappings=[ON="Play/Pause"]
Switch item=VLC_Control_5MinutesForward label="5 Minutes Forward" icon="exec_restart" mappings=[ON=">> 5 min"]
Switch item=VLC_Control_5MinutesBackward label="5 Minutes Backward" icon="exec_restart" mappings=[ON="<< 5 min"]
