VLC set-up instructions
VLC does not allow you to interface with it remotely by default. To use it with Tesla, you must first turn on the D-Bus remote interface in the preferences:
- Start the VLC player.
- In the top menu, select Tools and Preferences...
- At the bottom of the preferences dialog, select the All radio button under Show settings.
- The left panel should become a tree list, expand the Interfaces group, and click on Control Interfaces.
- Tick the checkbox labeled D-Bus control interface.
- Click Save to close the preferences dialog.
- Quit VLC and start it again.
You should now be able to connect to VLC from Tesla, and your setting should be remembered from now on.
