How to quit VLC via shell script?

[Antti Eintola]

I have a shell script that uses VLC to convert videofile to another format. But how do I get the script to quit VLC after the conversion process is done?

Here's my script:
/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -vvv " & Tiedosto & " --sub-track=1 --sout="#transcode{soverlay,vcodec=mpgv,vb=4000,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:standard{dst=/Desktop/video.mpg,access=file,mux=ps}"

add vlc:quit

Hmm... doesn't seem to work... Where exactly should I add the VLC:quit command? Below is the script I'm using.



/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -vvv " & Tiedosto & " --sub-track=1 --sout="#transcode{soverlay,vcodec=mpgv,vb=4000,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:standard{dst=/Desktop/video.mpg,access=file,mux=ps}"vlc:quit

What about this simple command?

Code: Select all

killall VLC

[Antti Eintola]

No luck with that command either...

try replacing /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC with /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/clivlc and leave the rest the same

That didn't even transcode my video... thanks anyway.

I made a playlist file that will quit VLC once opened, just append it to the end of the playlist.
