Command-line only (no GUI)

[SteveS]

I have VLC set up to stream from command line, which I finally got to work. I really don't need (or want) the GUI to show up, as I am running from Linux command line (no X). As of now, it tries to start the GUI and fails that, but the streaming still seems to set up and run. But I hate to see errors; so can the GUI be turned off in command-line?

[funman]

use -I rc
or remove the GUI plugins from /usr/lib/vlc/gui

I tried the -l rc method, but evidently it brings up an interactive command line interface. I'm trying to have VLC open my mic -in and live-stream it; without the GUI. The 'rc' method seems to ignore the rest of my command line.

I need to try removing the GUI plug-ins next.

Merci!
