Re: mp3 playback from URL

Hi, Roman !

Maybe off-topic, but i thought i'd mention it:

I recently had good success with remote controlling VLC player from 
within PD. i don't know if this helps in your setup, but at least VLC 
might still be around the next years ;-)

Basically what you do is: You start vlc (or "cvlc" - the command line 
version of vlc) invoking a TCP remote control address.

I actually started vlc from within PD with the [command] external:

[exec /usr/bin/cvlc -I rc --rc-host=localhost:7777(
|
[command]

this way you can send remote control messages to

[netsend -b] [initiated with "connect localhost 7777")

(I'm not sure if the binary mode is needed but i used it anyway)


You can also receive information from cvlc this way. send a "help" 
message to get available commands or see for example here:

https://superuser.com/questions/767330/is-there-a-simple-audio-player-that-can-be-remote-controlled-with-udp-or-tcp-com


Sidenote:

Remote controlling MPLAYER is supposed to work in a similar way, but i 
didn't investigate it too much ...

Best

Oliver
