I'm running VLC (a media player) in Windows 7. Is there way to control (as in: play, pause, set volume) a running instance of VLC from Python?
In order to install the VLC module in Python, we will use the pip installer following the command shown below: Syntax: $ pip install python-vlc.
The VLC media player is a free and open-source portable cross-platform media player software and streaming media server developed by the VideoLAN project.
Yes, you can control it via telnet (with telnetlib). There are also libvlc bindings, but I'm not sure you can use that to control an existing VLC instance.
