mmplayer

This is a fork of mmplayer, a gem to control MPlayer with MIDI

Enabling VLC to be controlled by MIDI opens up a host of possibilities for live video performance, media automation and more

This project provides a Ruby DSL to define realtime interactions between MIDI input and VLC

Install

You'll need to install VLC before using this. More information about that is available on the VLC website

This project itself can be installed as a Ruby Gem using

gem install mvlc

Or if you're using Bundler, add this to your Gemfile

gem "mvlc"

Usage

require "mvlc"

@input = UniMIDI::Input.gets

@player = MVLC.new(@input) do

  rx_channel 0

  system(:start) { play("1.mov") }

  note(1) { play("2.mov") }
  note("C2") { play("3.mov") }

  cc(1) { |value| set_volume(value) }
  cc(20) { |value| seek_percent(to_percent(value)) }

  eof { puts "finished" }

end

@player.start
