The vlc platform allows you to control VLC media player.

To add a VLC media player to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  - platform: vlc

Configuration variables:

  • name (Optional): The name to use in the frontend.

Only "music" media type is supported for now.

This service will control a background VLC instance, therefore you cannot use this to control a VLC instance launched on your desktop, unlike the Kodi media player for example.
