VLC from Command Line

Postby EODCrafter » 15 Jan 2017 02:12

I really like the new VLC 3.0 for Linux but when I use the command line option from Kodi Media Player, it defaults to VLC 2.2.0 Weathermax Version. How do I open The New version from command line or uninstall the old version without removing the new version?

Got it, forgot in Linux that you just simply provide the path for the command and it will open the proper instance of VLC. Path can be Grep'ed by typing

Code: Select all

whereis VLC
in terminal. In my case it was /snap/bin/vlc, (Ubuntu 16.10)
