[vlc] Re: control VLC via telnet with PHP

[Brian Raymond]

The documentation on www.videolan.org gets into managing things from  
the command line, that helps understand the input and output syntax.  
capter 5 steps you through telnet so I'd suggest using it. I used  
that guide as my source quite effectively.

Typing "help" in the telnet interface will also show you the list of  
commands.
