[bongo-devel] VLC problems on w32

[Dieter Deyke]

After updating bongo and using the new vlc backend, I see a couple of problems:

- vlc does not allow pause.  The mode line does not display the ||
  button, and pressing the space bar results in

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "writing to process" "invalid 
argument" #<process bongo-vlc>)
  process-send-string(#<process bongo-vlc> "pause\n")

...)) (process . #<process bongo-vlc>) (file-name . "n:/Jahrescharts von

  bongo-pause/resume()
  call-interactively(bongo-pause/resume)

- while vlc is playing I see a DOS command window on the screen,
  mplayer did not show such a window. The window contains the
  following text:

[00000555] rc interface: VLC media player - version 0.8.6a Janus - (c) 1996-2007

[00000555] rc interface:
Warning: if you can't access the GUI anymore, open a command-line window, go to
the directory where you installed VLC and run "vlc -I wx"

Remote control interface initialized. Type `help' for help.
libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 0.2.0cvs from http://dvd.sf.net

libdvdread: Can't open n:/Jahrescharts von 1974/1974 - 012 - Michael Holm - Trä

libdvdnav: vm: failed to open/read the DVD

- after a song has finished playing, vlc keeps running, so bongo keeps
  waiting, end everything stops. I have to click the next song to
  start playing again.

I have downloaded bongo-mplayer.el, but now vlc is at the head of the
list and being used for all files.
