I tried grabbing std input and sending that to it via java but it did not work.

If it does not get fixed in VLC soon I supposed I will have to get VLC to open a http socket for remote control and close it that way, but it is all getting a bit messy.

I got a sort of workaround going with something like that, a throwback to the days of DOS, something like
"cmd /c /k start "vlc" "c:\prog.....exe".

I got it to start, and can track when it is closed, but I lost the ability to close VLC from java.

Another sufferer, for me it carries on up thru 0.9.6 and Java 1.6.0_10.

Would use JVLC, but I need streaming and the ability to leave VLC running after the app quits, ironic that it only works after the app quits now
