String from XML?

[Kevin]

The output Vlc sends is specific to the call. It will give the same data in json or xml just need to change the call
to get the data in xml just use

h.Open("GET" "http://127.0.0.1:8080/requests/playlist.xml")
h.setRequestHeader("content-type", "application/xml")

i.Open("GET" "http://127.0.0.1:8080/requests/status.xml")
i.setRequestHeader("content-type", "application/xml")
