The vlc platform allows you to control VLC media player.
To add a VLC media player to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
- platform: vlc
Configuration variables:
- name (Optional): The name to use in the frontend.
Only "music" media type is supported for now.
This service will control a background VLC instance, therefore you cannot use this to control a VLC instance launched on your desktop, unlike the Kodi media player for example.
