Instructions to code your own VLC Lua interface script.

See lua/README.txt for generic documentation about Lua usage in VLC.

Examples: cli.lua, http.lua

The "config" global variable is set to the value specified in the --lua-config VLC option. For example: --lua-config "rc={a='test',c=3},telnet={a='hello'}" config will be set to {a='test',c=3} in the rc interface, to {a='hello'} in the telnet interface and won't be set in other interfaces.

User defined modules stored in the share/lua/intf/modules/ directory are available. For example, to use the sandbox module, just use 'require "sandbox"' in your interface.

VLC defines a global vlc object with the following members: All the VLC specific Lua modules are available.
