Plugin control during playback

[mountainstorm]

How much control can a plugin have during the palyback of a file. Can it (for example) detect when keys are pressed to do something with them?

In particular Im wondering if a plugin like XDVD could be extended to use a NamedPipe instead of a file and detect when the user requests ff, rw and directional movements to instruct VLC to do the required actions.

that would be cool.

Check the BleepBloop plugin source for a way to capture the keystrokes, do something and then pass them onto GBPVR.

here's some info from vlc forums..
vlc control
and
vlc hotkeys
the documentation on vlc leaves much to be desired but it does do some amazing things quite well..very open source...
i'm trying to figure out how to stream a whole directory with ff/rw capability over the net..with dynamic input sources...found interesting info there on how to use vlc as a mini- tv server app with ability to change channels by picking channel name from playlist..
hope that helps some..
