How to send http commands to media player?

#1

I found a list of the http commands for media player classic home cinema, the player I use, and I would like to have Vera be able to pause, play etc. Is this possible? If so, ho would I go about it? Also does anyone know if the same is possible with WinAmp? The idea is for audio and video to pause before a message from Vera Alerts and them resume a short while later.

an easy way to call HTTP commands from Vera:

  1. create a scene
  2. under LUUP insert the following code:
os.execute('curl http://IP:PORT/command.html?wm_command=887')

according to the reference, this is the play command. Replace IP and PORT with your PC’s IP address and port.

Capjay, you are my hero and benefactor. If you’re ever in western MA I’ll give you a handshake and buy you an adult beverage.

I’ll try this out tonight and report back.

EDIT:

Oh Snap! It works like a dream!

Here are the instructions for setting up MPC-HC:

To enable the HTTP interface, click "View/Options", then in the "Player" menu chose "Web Interface". Check "Listen on port:", port number is 13579.

Hey, this is great! But now I got to ask if you know about doing the same for a Dune HD player?
