Launchcontrol VLC extension

Notice: please use Kodi if possible, the VLC extension has less features and might be a little buggy.

VLC Lua extension that can send scripts and commands to a Launchcontrol server.

What is working:

  • Script loading from file:// sources on input change (eg open video, next item in playlist)
  • Handling pause/resume
  • Seeking/jumping to different time when playback is paused

Gotchas:

  • Seeking/jumping while playing does not work. You will have to pause/resume to sync a new position to Launchcontrol.
  • Loading script from other sources like http://.

Install

Place launchcontrol.lua in the extensions directory, create it if it doesn't already exist:

  • Linux: ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions/
  • Mac: /Users/<NAME>/Library/Application Support/org.videolan.vlc/lua/extensions/
  • Windows: C:\Users\<NAME>\AppData\Roaming\vlc\lua\extensions

Usage

  • Run Launchcontrol server on http://localhost:6969
    • Make sure you can connect to the url before using the extension, VLC might hang if the server is not reachable.
  • In VLC enable extension Launchcontrol in the View menu.
  • Play a video that has a paired .kiiroo file.

Configuration

The extension does not (yet) store the config, until it does you have to edit the launchcontrol.lua file in order to make the changes persistent:

--[[ Config ]]--
local clientConfig = {
  url = "http://127.0.0.1:6969",
  latency = 0,
  positionMin = 0,
  positionMax = 100,
  speedMin = 20,
  speedMax = 100,
}
