Minimize VideoLan Client to System Tray

[Zero3K]

Is it possible to do that? If so, how?

Yes you can hide VLC in the system tray as of 0.9.x. Just click the VLC icon in the system tray once (or right click and select "Hide VLC media player in taskbar"). As far as I know you cannot currently do it by pressing the minimise window button however.

Arite.

Good Morning,

I'm trying to find a way to keep VLC suppressed to the system tray since I play my video as wallpaper however, when the playlist is repeated, VLC player will pop up out of the system tray. Is there a way to constantly hide VLC to the system tray??

The command above will start VLC hided but as I said, after the movie is played VLC jumps out of it's systemtray hiding place and plays the video on the wallpaper as well as in the player.

thanx in advance!!

On Windows? Yes, you can remove the systray, look into the preferences.

Yeah I know, but that's not what i meant. However thanx for your replpy!!

As I want to play video (like dreamscenes) as a wallpaper I need to KEEP vlc hiding in the system tray (I don't want to hide the systray icon). However everytime the video loops VLC pops-up again and is shown in my taskbar and the player starts to play the video in the player as well as on the wallpaper. But I just want VLC to keep hiding in the systray.

No player, not in the taskbar, only in my systray.

Does anyone know how to set this up this way??

Kind regards,

Maarten

Sorry, I didn't understand at first.
You mean that on song change, VLC popups?

[smpplaza]

Jep, thats correct, on song/video change VLC pops up.

Verry annoying...

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

[smpplaza]

O.k. thanx, I'll do that.

Earlier version(s) (current version i'm using is 0.9.6) don't have this issue??
