# Plover VLC commands

Add support for controlling VLC from Plover.

## Setup

* create `vlc.json` in the same directory as your configuration, set

  those settings that differ from defaults, e.g.:

    ``` json

    {

      "host": "localhost",

      "port": "8080",

      "user": "",

      "pass": "password"

    }

    ```

* start VLC with the HTTP interface enabled, e.g.:

  `vlc --extraintf http --http-password password ...`

## Available commands

* `VLC_add:`: append `` to the playlist.

* `VLC_clear`: clear the playlist.

* `VLC_play:`: play the specified playlist item, or the last

   active item if not `` is not specified, e.g.:

   `{PLOVER:VLC_play:click.wav}`

* `VLC_pause`, `VLC_resume`, `VLC_stop`, `VLC_toggle_pause`: self

  explanatory.

* `VLC_rate`: change the rate of playback, for example

  `{PLOVER:VLC_rate:0.5}` to halve the playback speed, or

  `{PLOVER:VLC_rate:2.0}` to double it. Percentage and relative rate

  changes are also supported: `{PLOVER:VLC_rate:-10%}`.

* `VLC_seek`: seek the video, for example `{PLOVER:VLC_seek:-10s}` to

  seek backward 10 seconds, `{PLOVER:VLC_seek:+1m}` to seek forward 1

  minute, or `{PLOVER:VLC_seek:50%}` to seek to the halfway point.

## Timestamp support

A custom meta to get the current video timestamp is also provided:

`VLC_timestamp`. For example using `{[inaudible ^}{:VLC_timestamp}{^]}`

would translate to something like: `[inaudible 00:08:01]`.
