Add millisecond information to HTTP interface, feature request
I'm trying to sync VLC clip playback to external events using the HTTP remote control interface. I need to control clip start times with millisecond precision, or at least better than 1 second increments.
Currently, I can jump to a specific time with the ?command=seek&val=Xs. But the seconds must be an integer value so I can only jump to whole seconds.
Using a percentage value, such as the command ?command=seek&val=X% allows the percentage to be a floating point, but that only helps if the exact clip length is known. The exact clip length can't be determined because the duration of a clip, as displayed in the status.xml or playlist.xml files, is only an integer value, the finest length resolution is in whole seconds.
Is it possible to change these values from integer to floating point so more exact information about the clips can be communicated and controlled through the HTTP interface?
Developers, thank you very much for your time.
