Status Messages

The status messages for play, pause and stop are mostly following the same rules, but play has a little difference because there is a difference between the initial play and the play when it's resumed from pause. at initial play there will also send the path of video at the status message

pause, stop

{
    "event": "<event>"
}

initial play

{
    "command": "play",
    "path": "/path/to/video.mp4"
}

current time

this will only sent when a video is playing

the time value passthroughs directly from LibVLC

{
    "command": "status",
    "time": 32444
}
