http interface and version 0.7.2

[bentzy]

I would like to launch vlc as I do with 0.7.0 version
so I don't see the panel at all

> vlc -I http --http-host host:port

Unfortunately I use the same command but the wxWindows panel pops up.

Is there any way to avoid this??

thanks!

Why do not you use the command line options "--intf=" and "--extraintf=" to launch the http interface and by your opinion any other additional interface? This should be a lot simplier and more reliable.
You can add your http-intf options afterwards, but you should have a look at the VLC user guide for correct syntax (see documentation page).

Regards.

the same occurs when

>vlc --intf=http !!??

You might want to try again, using:
vlc -vvv --intf http

When I did the above, then opened a browser to http://my_ip_address:8080

It popped open a VLC HTTP control interface.

(Maybe it's the "=" that messed it up for you?)

Now look, it is very strange

>vlc -I http --http-host host:port
>vlc --intf=http
>vlc -vvv --intf http

All of them works!!,
but when I change to other PC?!

At the first PC I tried it, they also launch the wxWindows interface.

Any ideas??

THANX!

You should delete the preferences on that other machine AND completly remove the VLC installation by hand and reinstall. Maybe something is wrong.

Thanks,

I just found the solution changing the preferences.
I don't "install it", i just compiled it succesfully after many trials...

Where the preferences settings are saved???

Thanks again!

Take a look at
http://videolan.org/doc/

The FAQ talks about where the vlcrc file is stored.
