Hi, try to run VLC first and then the code. For quick testing you can just start the python interpreter in project directory, import commands and run some to test communication with VLC. If that fails... it may be some issue with vlc-ctrl.

import commands
play()

By VLC i mean downloading a media player named so: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.pl.html No the vlc.py :)

When I created this project I focused on supporting this one media player in particular, because it was easier on linux. Now when I think about it, it should send some media-keys signals - that would be more generic...

could you tell me what command is for what

As I wrote in #2 there are now issues with vlc-ctrl. After investigation it looks like there is a better alternative to work with vlc https://wiki.videolan.org/Python_bindings/

But honestly, you just switch implementation of commands in commands.py to anything you like, windows media player, whatever suits you. I made this demo on linux and it works fine on it. The commands dont work out of the box on windows because of vlc-crtl library.
