The VideoLAN Forums

Hej all..suddenly when i open my vlc with my icon in taskbar the program starting op and shows but then it also opens a command prompt in which i can write commands to VLC but now here is the annoying part...i cannot close that cmd prompt on "x" or quit command or so..if i do my VLC program also closes down ...

only way i could close it was in Task Manager and then close it there ...

I hope someone can either explane why it suddenly does start with cmd so i can fix that or how i can close that window more easy

The command to close VLC is quit. As for why it shows up, most likely your VLC settings do that
