You will have to define a vlc-specific interface for that because the
mpris does not define such a method.

If it's useful, I shall propose it for inclusion in a future version of
the mpris.

VLC already implements the org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Seek method
which takes an offset in microseconds as an argument. A positive value
will seek forward, while a negative one will seek backwards.

Sure, the dbus module is located in modules/control/dbus and each
interface implementation is written in a separate .c/.h file pair.
You should add the new interface definition / implementation in separate
files.

I would advise you to propose and discuss the fullscreen feature on the
mpris mailing list at mpris at lists.freedesktop.org before extending the
mpris in VLC.

Cheers,
