Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

cvlc

Cvlc can be used to control VLC command-line instances

Install

$ npm install cvlc

Todo

  • Create methods that wrap around the possible commands
  • Create methods that wrap around certain hotkeys: https://wiki.videolan.org/Hotkeys_table

Examples

Playing a file

var Cvlc   = require('cvlc'),
    player = new Cvlc(),
    fs     = require('fs');

player.play('/path/to/file', function startedLocalFile() {
	// The file has started playing
});

Playing a stream

// Create a read stream
var stream = fs.createReadStream('/path/to/file');

player.play(stream, function startedStream() {
	// The stream has started playing
});

Executing VLC commands

player.cmd('rate 2', function gotResponse(err, response) {
	// Sound should be playing at twice the speed
});

See more commands

You can get a list of all the commands by executing this command:

player.cmd('longhelp', function gotCommands(err, response) {
	console.log('Available commands: ' + response);
});

Destroying VLC process

When you no longer need the player, you need to manually destroy it. Otherwise it will stay in memory, and the cvlc process will stay active.

player.destroy();
