VIOSO Player can be controlled remotely via TCP/IP, UDP, and webinterface. To get to the Remote control window, click “Options” on the top menu and select “Settings”:

(a) Activate and configure the network adapter for TCP/IP control (includes access to the built-in WWW interface).

(b) Activate and configure the network adapter for UDP control.

There are several ways to control a running instance of VIOSO Player™:

Browser-based

Establish a network connection between a remote device, open a contemporary browser, and call:

http://[IP:port]/playlist.htm

as configured in the network settings of the software.

Example: http://192.168.0.1:8080/playlist.htm

Open the browser-based player interface by entering the network IP address and port as configured in the network settings in a browser capable of displaying HTML and CSS.

Automation via TCP/IP and UDP

Establish a network connection between remote devices and configure any remote control devices to have access to the network.

TCP/IP and UPD messages are both sent using the same syntax:

ip:port /command1=parameter&command2=

Example:

tcp://127.0.0.1:9091/showmode=true&…
udp://127.0.0.1:9092/showmode=true&…
http://127.0.0.1:8080/command.htm?showmode=true&…

See Remote Control Reference for a list of all supported commands.
