Use the dummy interface, its cronable. Might want to redirect output to a file instead of having cron mail it to you, especially if you use the -v argument

Start an X server on a known display number (default is :0), then start VLC with:

DISPLAY=:0 vlc /path/to/file


And you'll want to do this in rc.local. May want to start VLC with the -I dummy options to keep the player control interface from showing.

Read the article linked below - it explains how Vistas wonderful DRM will not allow you to play potentially protected content over anything too high quality or easy to re-capture - S/PDIF issues are mentioned explicitly.

Anyone able to tell me what the status of full v4l2 support is in vlc? VLC does a great job for what I need it for - sending a UDP stream to a Darwin server to be served up to the world.

Use something like bmon on your server (or a test machine) and watch what's being used as each client connects. Using a v4l device as my input, streaming video at 320x240@10fps using mp4 format and no audio it uses 15-19K/sec/viewer coming out of my darwin server.

Take the command args from the window at the bottom of the VLC gui, and use that on your command line. Be sure to use the "-I dummy" argument to not start a GUI when you run vlc from the command line.
