From the command line, I'd like to play a video and then quit.

I created this playlist /tmp/rsi_pause.m3u:

/Applications/RSIGuard.app/Contents/Resources/stretch/Stretch11.mpg
vlc://quit

I run VLC Version 1.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.8 using
/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC /tmp/rsi_pause.m3u

The video plays and I see this output: [0xc3ee9e8] dummy demux: command `quit' but VLC does not quit.

Does anybody know how to play a video and then quit?
cheers,

Did you ever find out this problem?

I'm recording a live stream and uses --run-time=<nn> to limit number of seconds to record. Then I add vlc://quit to make VLC quit after recording is done.

Problem is that VLC.exe crashes with the same "dummy demux: command 'quit'" message and I need to click the "close program" button.

My full command, running vlc 1.0.1

Code: Select all

VLC.exe -Idummy --run-time=60 udp://@239.1.1.11:1234 :sout=#transcode{vcoded=mp2v,vb=1200,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,deinterlace,audio-sync,samplerate=44100}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=D:\\Movies\\test_mpg.mpg}} vlc://quit

No, I never found the solution to this problem. Since you have the same problem on windows, I guess it's not Mac specific and this probably should be reported on a bug-tracker somewhere. Unfortunately I don't have the time to investigate further, so I switched to a different app.
