I have installed VLC on a headless Centos 7 system and am running it from a Windows client via SSH and X11 forwarding.

VLC starts and displays in a window on the Windows client but I see the following errors on the console:

Code: Select all

$ vlc VLC media player 3.0.8 Vetinari (revision 3.0.8-3-g410bff0959) [0000000000f0e0f0] dbus interface error: Failed to connect to the D-Bus session daemon: /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message [0000000000f0e0f0] main interface error: no suitable interface module [0000000000e581c0] main libvlc error: interface "dbus,none" initialization failed [0000000000e581c0] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.

Can you please advise me how to fix these errors?

As this is a problem with Qt rather than VLC, and Qt is provided by the distro, it is unlikely that you will find help here.

I can only guess that your Qt back-end does not support remote access. Maybe it assumes that shared memory or GL just works.
