dear all:

i want to play a stream without VLC Control interface. In other words, isn't it can play stream in a console mode ? and how could i configure the vlc project before making?

Best Regards.

Hello,

To avoid compiling GUIs, you can configure with --disable-wxwidgets --disable-skins2

At runtime, you can use -I dummy, -I rc or -I http to avoid having a GUI.

RC will allow you to give some simple commands while it's running. HTTP will start an embedded web server to control VLC from web pages
