Re: Dual video player

Thanks, that worked and thanks for the note about the code tags. I think I've only posted here once before. Very helpful community though:D To answer your question, the script I posted was in the "Play" button. There is script in the scrubber to seek through videos when scrubbing. All good now, than...

Dual video player

I'm working on a dual video player so video and a screen recording can be played at the same time, picture in picture or side by side. I've hidden the player controls and have a controller that controls both players simultaneously. My problem is finding a way to update the scrubber (slider) as the v...

Re: Pass arguments to a process

The following is generally valid on MacOS and probably on Windows and linux too. As long as you use full pathes everything that works in terminal will work with LC's shell: Terminal: /Applications/VLCdotapp/Contents/MacOS/VLC <args> LC: put shell("/Applications/VLCdotapp/Contents/MacOS/VLC <args>")...
