################################################################################ <# .SYNOPSIS Launches and controls VLC Media Player with extensive configuration options. .DESCRIPTION Provides a comprehensive interface to launch and control VLC Media Player with support for: - Window positioning and monitor selection - Playback settings (speed, aspect ratio, etc) - Audio/video filters and options - Subtitle handling - Multiple language support - Network proxy settings - Advanced performance options .PARAMETER Path The media file(s) or URL(s) to open in VLC. .PARAMETER KeysToSend Keystrokes to send to the VLC window for control. .PARAMETER Monitor Monitor to display VLC on (-1=discard, 0=default, >0=specific monitor). .PARAMETER NoBorders Removes window borders for a cleaner look. .PARAMETER Width Initial window width in pixels. .PARAMETER Height Initial window height in pixels. .PARAMETER X Initial window X position. .PARAMETER Y Initial window Y position. .PARAMETER Left Places window on left side of screen. .PARAMETER Right Places window on right side of screen. .PARAMETER Top Places window on top of screen. .PARAMETER Bottom Places window on bottom of screen. .PARAMETER Centered Centers the window on screen. .PARAMETER Fullscreen Maximizes the window. .PARAMETER PassThru Returns the window helper object. .PARAMETER SideBySide Places VLC window side by side with PowerShell window. .PARAMETER VLCPath Custom path to VLC executable. .PARAMETER NewWindow Forces new VLC instance. .PARAMETER Close Closes VLC window. .EXAMPLE # Open video fullscreen on monitor
