[vlc] Re: Serial Control

[Mark Moriarty]

The rc interface would be close to a start, likely -- it's a simple socket
interface, already very much RS232-like in that it is command-response using
"normal" commands.  Since it's Ethernet, you use a Telnet app, but switching
to an RS-232 interface ought not be too horrendous.

Personally, if you have any options I'd switch to Ethernet, use RC.

I haven't seen any such thing when looking at the docs, but I can't imagine
that it would be very tough to write such an interface.  Look at the -I
command line option handling to vlc.  Adding an alternate interface should
be straightforward, since they've gone to the trouble of abstracting the UI
out from the core code already.

You could probably hack-and-slash the current telnet interface to do what
you want.
