Hi there

A friend of mine has helped me out by giving me some example code on how to play a video using VLC player. However when i try to play a video it will only play if i click anywhere on the VLC window before the small processing window starts up. I'm a complete beginner to all of this so would really appreciate some pointers the code i was given is here

Thanks in advance.

import processing.net.*;

VLC video;
String videoPath = "C:/Documents and Settings/tech-student/My Documents/Downloads/may12_webclip.wmv";




void setup() {
 
  // VLC
  video = new VLC(this, "localhost", 2121);

}

void draw() {
  if(random(1000) > 999) {
    playVideo();
  }
}

void playVideo() {
  video.addToPlaylist(videoPath);
  video.fullscreen(true);
}


// for playing audio and video through VLC over a network connection
class VLC {
  Client socket;
  Boolean paused;
 
  VLC (PApplet parent, String address, int port) {
    // launch VLC
    try {
      //String[] cmd = {"/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC", "--no-osd", "--extraintf=rc", "--rc-host=localhost:" + port, "--rc-fake-tty"};
       //windows
     String[] cmd = {"C:\\Program Files\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe", "--no-osd", "--extraintf=rc", "--rc-host=localhost:" + port};
     
      Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
    } catch(Throwable t) {
      t.printStackTrace();
    }
   
    try {
      Thread.sleep(5000);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) { }
   
    // connect over network
    socket = new Client(parent, address, port);
    paused = false;
  }
 
  void command(String command) {
    socket.write(command + "\r\n");
  }
 
  void clearPlaylist() {
    this.command("clear");
  }
 
  void addToPlaylist(String path) {
    this.command("add " + path);
  }
 
  void fullscreen(Boolean full) {
    if(full) {
      this.command("f on");
    } else {
      this.command("f off");
    }
  }
 
  void seek(String timestamp) {
    this.command("seek " + timestamp);
  }
 
  void pause(Boolean pause) {
    if(paused != pause){
      this.command("pause");
      paused = pause;
    }
  }
}
