Feature Request: Actions

[rdnetto]

Hi,
One disadvantage SMPlayer has over VLC is the lack of alternative interfaces, like a webUI. The reason for this is that the -send-action command is . If the following actions were implemented, then it would be tremendously helpful:
-the ability to view the current song playing and its status (in easily parse-able form)
-the ability to view the current playlist
-the ability to select a song from the current playlist
-extra: documentation giving a list of actions which can be used (maybe in the man page?) - having to google each one individually is ridiculous

I don't think this would be a lot of work (maybe a few hours?), but it would really improve the functionality of SMPlayer and allow others to extend it further.

Never mind, I'll do it myself...

Patches are always welcome. Sadly enough this project lacks manpower - even for the simple things.

Fair enough. I'll post back to this forum when my patch gets committed.
