Play/pause VLC

[stencil98]

Hey all,

I want to make a script that sends a <space> to the VLC media player to play or pause the current song. What am I doing wrong on this script?

WinActivate("VLC")
Send("{SPACE}")

It seemed so simple...

 

Thanks in advance,

Sten

Hello stencil, to start with, you are giving it the wrong title (unless your VLC player is different than the one I got), if you don't give it the correct title it won't activate VLC window.

Here is a working example (for my VLC at least):

HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")


TogglePause()

Func TogglePause()
    $VLC = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:QWidget]","VLC (Direct3D output)")
    ControlSend("","",$VLC,"{SPACE}")
    While 1
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>TogglePause

Use "Pause" button to Pause/Resume songs.
