<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm sorry in advance, perhaps what I'm asking is
trivial but I wasn't able to figure it out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My goal is to write a very specific interface
through which I will control VLC from another application.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've noticed however that in other interfaces
(wxWindows or rc), whenever I issue a command, like Play, or Pause, there is a
certain delay until that command is executed, about half a second. Since my goal
is to be able to synchronize data with video played on VLC, this may pose a
serious problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As far as I could tell (by hacking around in
the code) the set_Var function returns pretty fast, and then it takes another
0.5 a sec to actually pause the video. From what I saw, set_Var should call all
the callbacks before it returns. So the only thing I can think of that the
callback just sets some variable which is being polled in the input plugin once
in X milliseconds.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please advice where does this delay originate, is
there a way to avoid it, and is it applicable to all of the operations (like
seeking).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best of all,</FONT></DIV>
