Set CPU priority to BELOW NORMAL via command line/parameter
Posted: 21 Jan 2008 20:14
Hello,
I often use VLC to play incomplete files of various kinds.
Sometimes it encounters problems that lead to 100% CPU usage and it's quite a pain to kill the process.
VLC is started via ShellExecute, so I'd like to pass an argument that starts VLC with lower priority by default.
I found the parameter to start it with higher prio, but not with lower.
Could you please tell me what switch I have to use to start it with lower CPU priority.
If it's not yet implemented (which I don't hope), please move this post to feature requests.
Thanks a lot,
regards
