Issue
is there any way to control an already running VLC player on ubuntu. For example, i am trying to start a vlc video full screen with a default audio.
and then control the volume and other features through netcat or some other command remotely. is it possible?
Solution
Have you looked at the rc (remote control) interface ? It controls a VLC process via a Unix Domain Socket. See here and here for more info.
