Hello everyone

This is a simple program to control VLC Player just using the Mouse (without using the cursor).

Reason:
During the SB sessions, usualy I like to watch movies, but some contents are very long (over an hour)
And I want to FF the video for a more interesting part or I just want to change the movie.

But as you know, usually it is not possible. :rofl:
Thinking about it, I thought that with an adaptation the wireless mouse can become the remote control that I want.

So I wrote a program to control the VLC Player with Mouse (without using the cursor).
I did it very simple to use (as the prog. pic) and doesn't needs to install.

I did it for my personal use, but I'm sharing.
I hope you enjoy

How to use:
- Install VLC Player (if it is not installed yet)
- Set a playlist on VLC (Ctrl - L)
- Open this Program: SB_RC
- Click Start on SB_RC and enjoy

Extra:
VLC Player is free and open source multimedia player.

Please share you opinion, comment or suggestion.

Best regards,

You might be able to insert chapters into the movie, and be able to more quickly navigate your movie.

Yes, you are right but the idea is be surprised with videos.
But still be able to change the movie and/or the video position.

Use Random function, if available on your player.

Yes, the last program implementation is the middle button on mouse, when click it switches between Random / Linear playback.
But I'm thinking to implement another uses of middle button of mouse, similar to OSD (on sceen display) with options.

Like:
> Open CD Tray (due a pain.exe or just after some time)
> Turn On/Off some device (due a game or some kind of bonus credits or run pain.exe with parameters)
> Show time
> ? Take a picture ?

Do you have any other ideas to include?

Under Preferences, you can program many functions to be executed as hot keys. Remember to hit Save or Apply after making changes.
