# Setup Instructions
## Chrome
### Starting Chrome with Remote Debugging for Python
To enable remote debugging in Chrome, which allows tools like Playwright for Python to connect to and control an existing Chrome instance, follow these steps:
#### Manually Enabling Remote Debugging in Chrome
1. **Locate the Chrome Shortcut**:
- Find the Chrome shortcut that you usually use to open the browser. This could be on your desktop, start menu, or taskbar.
2. **Edit Shortcut Properties**:
- Right-click on the Chrome shortcut and select `Properties`.
3. **Modify the Target Field**:
- In the `Target` field, add `--remote-debugging-port=9222` at the end of the path. Ensure there is a space between the path and the flag you add.
- It should look something like this: `"C:\Path\To\Chrome.exe" --remote-debugging-port=9222`.
4. **Apply and Close**:
- Click `Apply` and then `OK` to close the dialog.
5. **Start Chrome**:
- Use this modified shortcut to start Chrome. Chrome will now start with remote debugging enabled on port 9222.
6. **Confirm Remote Debugging**:
- Open a browser and navigate to `http://localhost:9222`. If you see a webpage with information about active tabs, remote debugging is working.

### Setting Up Playwright for Python
Playwright for Python is a browser automation library to control Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit with a single API.
#### Installing Playwright
- Ensure you have Python installed on your system. If not, download and install it from the [Python official website](https://www.python.org/).
- Install Playwright using pip (Python Package Installer). Open a command line or terminal and run:
```bash
pip install playwright
```
- After installing Playwright, you need to run the install command to download the necessary browser binaries:
```bash
playwright install
```
#### Writing a Playwright Script in Python
- Create a Python file for your automation script.
- Import the Playwright module at the beginning of your script:
```python
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
```
- You can now use Playwright's API to control browsers.
#### Example Playwright Script
Here is a simple example to open a page using Playwright:
```python
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
def run(playwright):
browser = playwright.chromium.launch()
page = browser.new_page()
page.goto("http://example.com")
## other actions...
browser.close()
with sync_playwright() as playwright:
run(playwright)
```
- This script launches Chromium, opens a new page, navigates to `example.com`, and then closes the browser.
#### Troubleshooting
- If you encounter issues with Playwright, ensure that your Python environment is correctly set up and that you have installed Playwright and its dependencies correctly.
- For detailed documentation, visit the [Playwright for Python Documentation](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/intro).
## VLC Media Player
### Setting Up VLC's HTTP Interface
To enable and use the HTTP interface in VLC Media Player for remote control and status checks, follow these steps:
#### 1. Open VLC Preferences
- Open VLC Media Player.
- Go to `Tools` > `Preferences` from the menu.
#### 2. Show All Settings
- In the Preferences window, at the bottom left corner, select `All` under `Show settings` to display advanced settings.
#### 3. Enable Main Interfaces
- In the advanced preferences, expand the `Interface` section.
- Click on `Main interfaces`.
- Check the box for `Web` to enable the HTTP interface.
#### 4. Configure Lua HTTP
- Expand the `Main interfaces` node and select `Lua`.
- Under `Lua HTTP`, set a password in the `Lua HTTP` section. This password will be required to access the HTTP interface.
#### 5. Save and Restart VLC
- Click `Save` to apply the changes.
- Restart VLC Media Player for the changes to take effect.
#### 6. Accessing the HTTP Interface
- Open a web browser and go to `http://localhost:8080`.
- You will be prompted for a password. Enter the password you set in the Lua HTTP settings.
- Once logged in, you will have access to VLC's HTTP interface for remote control.
#### Troubleshooting
- If you cannot access the HTTP interface, check if your firewall or security software is blocking the connection.
- Ensure VLC is running and the correct port (default is 8080) is being used.
- If the port is in use by another application, you may change the port number in VLC's settings.
