I’m making a Python script to play music through VLC and I wanted to add a way to control audio playback of VLC, like pause/play, next/previous, etc.
I know I can change shuffle mode before launching VLC with the --random and --no-random arguments. However, is there a way to change playback settings through the Linux terminal while VLC is running?
Testing if the current shell can execute something does not require looking at the installed packages, there are portable ways to do that
