=== Signals ===
 
''''Signal' (signature) : description'''
 
'ItemChange' (s) : Emitted when a new input element is played, the string contains the filename, or the input name if it has some metadata
 
=== Methods ===
 
''''Method' (input signature) = (output signature) : description'''
 
'GetPlayStatus' () = (s) : return "play" "pause" "stopped" or "unknown"
 
'GetPlayingItem' () = (s) : return the filename of the current item being played, or it's name if it has some metadata. Same data provided by "ItemChange"
 
'ToglePause' () = (b) : toggle the play/pause status, and start playing if it was stopped, return true if playing, false if paused
 
'AddMRL' (sb) = () : add string to the playlist, and play it if bool is true
 
'Nothing' () = () : do nothing, just here for tests, and code example
 
'Quit' () = () : exits vlc
 
'Stop' () = () : stop playlist
 
'Prev' () = () : plays previous playlist item
 
'Next' () = () : plays next playlist item
 
'PositionGet' () = (q) : get an uint16 in the range [0;1000] representing the position of current input, or 0 if no input
 
'PositionSet' (q) = () : gives an uint16 in the range [0;1000] to set the position of current input
 
'VolumeGet' () = (q) : get an uint16 in the range [0;100] representing the current volume


'VolumeSet' (q) = () : gives an uint16 in the range [0;100] to set the current volume

TODO for DBus integration

VLC implements DBus-spec, a desktop-neutral document, that aims to be suitable for every Media Players.

Decide service behaviour

Could vlc be a on-demand startable service, would it be useful ?

We just have to create a /usr/share/dbus-1/org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.service: 

[D-BUS Service]

Name=org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer

Exec=/usr/bin/vlc -I dummy --control dbus
