The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

I'm trying to playback an mp4/mov video at user login on the Mac machine using the VLC command line /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC.

The requirement is to automatically play in full screen and exit. No keyboard/mouse input is allowed during the playback so basically force the video to complete the playback and then exit VLC app.

Apparently it is working with the following command line on Windows:
"C:\Program Files\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe" "C:\temp\trailer_720p.mov" --play-and-exit --fullscreen --no-keyboard-events --no-mouse-events --video-on-top -I dummy

But for whatever reason, it looks like --no-keyboard-events and --no-mouse-events switches don't work on the macOS.

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Yes, I don't think that we are respecting this options on macOS right now. I'll do a ticket to fix this for a future update.

Thanks so much for getting back to me. It would be great to see these options becoming available for the Macs in the future.
