Introducing the remote_vlc2019 gem

Usage

require 'remote_vlc2019'

vlc = RemoteVlc2019.new host: '192.168.4.193', port: '8080', password: 'password'
vlc.stop
vlc.volume
sleep 2
vlc.play
sleep 1
vlc.vol_down
sleep 3
vlc.vol_up

The above example connects to a VLC host running at 192.168.4.193 on port 8080 using password password.

Note:

To enable the HTTP host in VLC go to Tools > Preferences > Show Settings all > Main interfaces > Lua and then set a password. Then restart VLC and visit the VLC player in your browser to ensure it is accessible using HTTP basic authentication with the username left blank and the password set to whatever you chose.
