title: control vlc with python
body: <p>I would need two things in vlc that I want to control from a Python script. First is to open a network stream, add the stream address as a url in it and play it. (This might be skippable)</p>
  
  <p>The second thing is to take a snapshot at a specific time and use that picture. As I saw the different kind of libraries and modules, they can only things like play, pause, rewind a video.</p>
  
  <p>Can anybody help me with this one?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
