Execute VLC

[amedeo]

Hallo people can you help me?
I start VLC from my program in this way:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. var
2.   AProcess: TProcess;
3. begin
4.   AProcess := TProcess.Create(nil);
5.   AProcess.Executable:='/usr/bin/vlc';
6.   AProcess.Options := AProcess.Options + [poWaitOnExit];
7.   AProcess.Execute;
8.   AProcess.Free;

It works good but after I have to search the song to play inside VLC.
I should like to start the song from inside program setting its location+name but in this way the program doesn't work.
Somebody knows how to do it?
Thanks a lot.
Amedeo

This should be enough:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure PlayFile(const Filename: String);
2. var
3.   AProcess: TProcess;
4. begin
5.   AProcess := TProcess.Create(nil);
6.   AProcess.Executable:='/usr/bin/vlc';
7.   AProcess.Parameters.Clear; {Murphy guard}
8.   AProcess.Parameters.Add(Filename)
9.   AProcess.Options := AProcess.Options + [poWaitOnExit];
10.   AProcess.Execute;
11.   AProcess.Free;
12. end;

Or simply

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. Runcommand('/usr/bin/vlc',[filename]);

Hi
If you don't need the vlc gui, you could try 'cvlc' it just plays your song... Just saying
