Hi, I'm working on a project using Raspberry pi 4 with two HDMI and VLC ruand I was wondering if there is a way to run VLC with an identifier so that I can kill a VLC process leaving the other running?

Re: Raspberry pi 4 running multiple instances on separate Tvs
do some basic linux process management
If you want your problem to be solved :* First read troubleshooting guide VSG:Main
* Always provide verbose LOGS ! (command line or from gui)
* Always check your issue against a developer build from Nightly Build of VLC
* Tell us when your problem is solved !
Re: Raspberry pi 4 running multiple instances on separate Tvs
I know how to kill the process manually and individually using Pid, the problem is I launch and kill VLC on each tv via PHP and web interface and the Pid process changes id constantly unless there is a way to assign a static Pid id to a VLC process, now that would be great since I'll know which process to kill.do some basic linux process management
Let me do some digging around to see if I can assign a Pid id to a process.
and thanks for your response.

How do you launch VLC using PHP exactly? You process spawning API should give you the pid of the spawned process so you can track and kill it.
