The **VLC media player via Telnet** {% term integration %} allows you to control a [VLC media player](https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html) using the built in telnet interface.
|
|
|
|
This service will control any instance of VLC player on the network with the telnet interface activated.
|
|
To activate the telnet interface on your VLC Player please read the [official VLC documentation](https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Modules/telnet/). Also remember to add a firewall rule allowing inbound connections for the port used in the device running VLC.
|
|
|
|
In case the VLC is running on a host with a locale other than English, you may get some errors during the volume change.
|
|
This is related to the different use of the decimal separator in other countries.
|
|
Consider to set the locale to `en_US` before starting VLC.

## Services
|
|
|
|
When using the `media_player.play_media` service, only the "music" media type is supported for now.
|
|
|
|
## Home Assistant add-on
|
|
|
|
You can run a VLC Media Player on your Home Assistant installation using the official [VLC add-on](https://github.com/home-assistant/addons/blob/master/vlc/DOCS.md).
|
|
Using it you can play files on the local network, Internet or files and playlist locally saved to the `/share` and `/media` folder of your Home Assistant installation.
