maybe you could upload my vlc-0.8.6h-commandline.pet some place else because Eric shutdown puppylinux.ca and the link for it in your first post is now dead.

I think sc0tman brings up console just because of controls problem - vlc console interface has some basic controls.BarryK wrote: ...note, I took out the "rxvt -e", don't understand why that is there. I added "-I dummy" to the vlc commandline -- but perhaps the vlc configuration file could be set to "dummy" interface as default.
There is one remaining problem, the on-screen controls do not work. I think that I need help with that.
I added the 'rxvt -e' because on Puppy 4.2 (TurboPup/PuppyArcade/Puplite) vlc will not load up or play anything otherwise.. (The code came from dejan555, but didn't work on 4.2 until I added the 'rxvt -e' bit.... maybe I missed a trick, not sure..)dejan555 wrote:I think sc0tman brings up console just because of controls problem - vlc console interface has some basic controls.BarryK wrote: ...note, I took out the "rxvt -e", don't understand why that is there.

Keyboard shortcuts should work ok though for video - Ctrl + arrows control volume and jumping back and forth some seconds, also there are much more shortcuts for switching subtitles and chapters which I don't remember now.
dummy interface on the other hand doesn't have any controls I think and can be started with cvlc wrapper too.
Oh I don't remember you had to use it.sc0ttman wrote: I added the 'rxvt -e' because on Puppy 4.2 (TurboPup/PuppyArcade/Puplite) vlc will not load up or play anything otherwise..
That lousy Xdialog window with only few optionsThe code came from dejan555
Maybe I'm just being stupid, but that is the only way I got the no_gui vlcs to *show* anything on my 4.2sdejan555 wrote:Oh I don't remember you had to use it.sc0ttman wrote:I added the 'rxvt -e' because on Puppy 4.2 (TurboPup/PuppyArcade/Puplite) vlc will not load up or play anything otherwise..
haha, not trying to blame you for any problems, by the way...dejan555 wrote:That lousy Xdialog window with only few optionssc0ttman wrote:The code came from dejan555
Yours is much more advanced.
Yes, when you click a button in the on-screen controls gui, it makes xdotool send a key command to the chosen vlc window (ctrl+right, etc)..dejan555 wrote:Hmm, so you're using some kind of mouse/kbd emulation for controls, it emulates keyboard shortcuts on vlc output window or similar?
I've just remember the gtk version of vlc during the release of 4.2 it's kind a buggy, lacks of codecs and crashes when you use skins.ttuuxxx wrote:also way back in the beginning of vlc there was a gtk version, I don't know if it would be possible to update it to a newer base or not, but just an idea.
