Start VLC Web-interface on startup

[safex]

hello everybody,

i recently configured the VLC web-interface so i can 'control' VLC from my android phone and it works amazing, but i have a question..
Is it possible/how do i configure VLC to start the Web-Interface on the startup of windows? so i don't have to manually start VLC and then add the webinterface...

I'm using Windows 7 ultimate x64

Thanks in advance safex

Yep. Create .bat file and add it to startup folder.

thanks for your reply, i understand i have to do that, the problem isn't to start VLC on start up and i don't know how to code a batchfile to start VLC with a webinterface (and without starting the normal VLC interface )

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -I http

Goodday, I have the basic the same request where I want to add vlc on startup with minimized system icon with added web interface.
The adding to startup is ot a problem but the adding web interface is n bit tricky.
I'm running Win 7 ult - where the startup command look something like this;

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -I http

But is does not work.

Thanks in advance

If you want both QT4 and http interface, then

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --extraintf=http

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -I http

this will disable user interface /menus n stuff too..

If you want both QT4 and http interface, then

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --extraintf=http

this won't set/mark "Web Interface" under "Add Interface/Viwe" in VLC-menus BUT IT'S ACTIVE AND WORKS!!

thats just great and it works, but what about executin that command when i start a file via VLC. this way i have to start VLC and its ready for use with web interface. i want it to start web interface every time i start a file.

You can add that option to %appdata%\vlc\vlcrc file if you want to enable it always.
