vlc-bgm
Web interface for controlling VLC remotely to use as a background music (BGM) player
About
This is designed to be used when VLC is running on a separate device that isn't always easily accessible, such as a laptop behind the scenes in an event. The web interface allows you to control the interval music from your phone or a computer. The advantages of this project over the built-in interface are that it comes with shortcuts to automate tasks such as gradually increasing volume and fade-in/fade-out. In the future, I will add some of the features that are in the built-in interface such as manually being able to set the volume.
