[vlc] Using VLC-Player without X

[Peter Wendorff]

hi!
I'm going to set up a Linux-Server to use it as Intranet-Webserver and 
Jukebox.
So I plan to control VLC over a http-interface, nearly like the one it 
includes, but extended by PHP and MySQL by a Media-Database, Wish-Lists 
and Song-Ranking and something else.
To be able to set up the server I have some questions.
1) At first I only want to play Music (mostly mp3-Files), but later I 
perhaps will extend the system by VLCs Visualisations and Video-Output 
through the NVidea Geforce-Graphic-Card. Do I need X-Window to be able 
to do that? Do I need it only for Video-Output or generally?
2) How can I extend the http-Interface using PHP? Is it possible to use 
VLC-Macros with PHP or should I prefer to allow Command-Line-Commands 
for PHP-Scripts? Whats the matter with security-questions in this context?

with kind regards
