Hey there!
This is probably/hopefully a quite small issue, as I'm a freshman and rather copy-and-pasted this code together:

1. import themidibus.*;

   import processing.net.*;

   import sures.remotevlc.*;

   
   

   VlcConnection vlc; // Remote VLC

   MidiBus myBus; // The MidiBus

   
   

   boolean midiThru = false; // echo all received midi in messages to the midi out device

   
   

   int maxNotes = 128;

   int intt;

   String temmp;

   
   

   class Note {

   long startTime;

   float kMinVelocity = 0;

   float kMaxVelocity = 127;

   int pitch;

   int velocity;

   
   

   boolean isOn = false;

   
   

   Note(int pitch) {

   this.pitch = pitch;

   }

   
   

   void init(int pitch, int velocity)

   {

   startTime = millis();

   this.pitch = pitch;

   this.velocity = velocity;

   this.isOn = true;

   }

   };

   
   

   void setup() {

   size(10,10);

   vlc = new VlcConnection(this, "192.168.1.6", 8080);

   
   

   MidiBus.list(); // List all available Midi devices on STDOUT. This will show each device's index and name.

   
   

   // MODIFY THIS FOR YOUR MIDI SETUP

   // Parent In Out

   // | | |

   myBus = new MidiBus(this, 0, -1); // Create a new MidiBus with Midi Yoke 1 as input device and no output device.

   
   

   for (int i = 0; i < maxNotes; ++i) {

   notes[i] = new Note(i);

   }

   }

   
   

   
   

   Note[] notes = new Note[128];

   
   

   void draw() {

   // draw nothing

   }

   
   

   void noteOn(int channel, int pitch, int velocity) {

   // Receive a noteOn

   println("Note On : ch=" +channel+" pitch="+pitch+" velocity="+velocity);

   /* if (pitch == 65)

   {

   client.write("add take2.avi" +"\r\n");

   client.clear();

   }

   */

   if (pitch == 66) vlc.play();

   
   

   if (pitch == 67) vlc.pause();

   if (pitch == 68) vlc.next();

   if (pitch == 69) vlc.previous();

   }

   
   

   void noteOff(int channel, int pitch, int velocity) {

   // Receive a noteOff

   notes[pitch].isOn = false;

   }

   
   

   void controllerChange(int channel, int number, int value) {

   // Receive a controllerChange

   if (midiThru) {

   myBus.sendControllerChange(channel, number, value); // Send a controllerChange

   }

   }

   
   

What I want:
Run VLC player on one laptop (laptop A). Controlling it by midi-messages with another laptop (laptop B) via wireless Ad-hoc network.
When I try it on one laptop only (with localhost:1234) the whole connection works.

What I do:
Run a processing-sketch on laptop B. The VlcConnection is defined as:
vlc = new VlcConnection(this, "IP-address-of-laptop-A", 8080);
I start VLC player with the windows command shell:
vlc file.ext --intf rc --rc-host IP-address-of-laptop-B:8080
I'm using VLC-player version 2.0.4. I also saved laptop B's IP-address (as IP-address/16) in the .host file which is located in the VLC subfolder (VLC/lua/http)

Issue:
VLC starts running but doesn't seem to receive the commands of laptop B.

There are a couple of things, which aren't really clear to me. For example this in:
vlc = new VlcConnection(this, "IP-address-of-laptop-A", 8080);
I assume the fault is somewhere around defining the client.

Can anyone help?

By the way, both laptops run with Windows XP. Firewalls and Virscan disabled.

Thank you!
