I am running python 2.7 with the VLC module on windows 7 to do this:
import vlc
i = vlc.Instance('--verbose 2'.split())
p = i.media_player_new()
p.set_mrl('rtp://@192.168.0.101:8080/video')
p.play()
However when I try to install VLC module with pip, it returns the following error:
C:\Windows\System32>pip install vlc

I then tried to install appscript separately, but it still returned an error. After some searching, I found out that appscript module is for Mac only. But I would like to use the VLC module on Windows.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
