Description: A small Control Interface for VLC Media Player.
USAGE: Load some Songs in your Playlist and start a song. Then you simply use the extension by going to the "View" menu and selecting it there. You can then hide VLC in your taskbar by clicking the little Pylon Symbol in your tray once.
Installation: Put the file in the VLC subdir /lua/extensions, by default: * Windows (all users): %ProgramFiles%VideoLANVLCluaextensions * Windows (current user): %APPDATA%VLCluaextensions * Linux (all users): /usr/share/vlc/lua/extensions/ * Linux (current user): ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions/ * Mac OS X (all users): /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/lua/extensions/ (create directories if they don't exist) Restart the VLC.
Feedback highly appreciated! Suggestions for new Functions are also highly appreciated.Last changelog:
Hello,
I adapt the original VLC-Extension "Micro Controls" with small reduced Functions.
This Extension Version 1.0.8 works fine with VLC-Player 3.0.6 (32-Bit) under Windows 7 and Windows 10 Operating Systems.
Please delete the File-Extension *.txt after download.

Copy the File "microcontrols-108.lua" in the described Directory for the installed VLC-Player.
Restart the VLC-Player and open the Menu / View / with Selection of the Extension "Small Controls for VLC".
The [Catch]-Button open a loaded Playlist in the MicroControls Windows.

Hi Marcel (Wolvan) Hinsch,
Would be nice to have VLC as a compact task bar item with stop, play buttons. This extension idea looks really similar but not quite there yet, perhaps you are most kindly willing to extend it to include this functionality.
Regards,
Svetlana
