Installing vlc as service

[fisihh]

Hello

I use following command to install vlc as service under windows.

vlc -I ntservice --ntservice-install --ntservice-name="Musicbox" --ntservice-options="--no-qt-privacy-ask --no-qt-error-dialogs --loop D:\musicbox"

The service are installed correct, but after installing the service a process "vlc.exe" still running. (its not the service)

where is my mistake?

How do you know it isn't the service?

[fisihh]

because the service is stopped and a vlc process is running.
When i start the service 2 vlc process running

I think you need to add this parameter

Code: Select all

vlc://quit

to the end of the vlc command line when installing to stop the extra process running.i.e.

Code: Select all

vlc -I ntservice --ntservice-install --ntservice-name="Musicbox" --ntservice-options="--no-qt-privacy-ask --no-qt-error-dialogs --loop D:\musicbox" vlc://quit
