Hello,
I would like to start VLC with a command line as :

vlc --fullscreen udp://@239.253.0.1:1234

it's working well, the stream is displayed in fullscreen mode.

but how to do not display the control panel ?

Control panel? You mean VLC controls or Windows taskbar?

Hi,
I do not want to display the VLC control , when I start the commande, first, before vlc is runing in fullscreen, the vlc control panel is show. I do not want to see it.

Does it help if you add --no-wx-embed --wx-minimal ?

hi,
no it is still the same, exept that the control commande player and the video window are separate.

Regards - merci

there might be a bug in fullscreen mode. Have you tried nightly builds?

As VLC_help said this is probably a bug, however you could try using the dummy interface:

Code: Select all

vlc -I dummy --fullscreen INPUT

Where INPUT is you input stream.

Cheers, Arite.

Hi guys,

My VLC has been doing the same for a long time now - if I start playing a video and then switch to fullscreen mode, it will make it fullscreen, but the control window will also become fullscreen IN FRONT OF the video, meaning that I'd then see nothing until I minimize the control window.. this is sort of irritating

I tried vlc -I dummy --fullscreen INPUT as suggested by Arite and it immediately starts playing videos in fullscreen without showing anything in front of it, but then you do not get the control window or any way to use ANY controls except I think for keyboard shortcuts...

What are the chances of someone finding a way to fix that annoying fullscreen bug soon?

When I use VLC at work on my Windows XP pc there it works 100% when switching to fullscreen and back - why not on any of my home computers (all WIndows XP as well)? All these PCs have onboard graphics - the one at work has the older Intel Extreme chip I think, and at home one PC also has that and the others newer Intel GMA X3000 chips... So the bug is not even consistent.
