I am trying to run this code:
vlc does not recognize the --play-and-exit command - any idea?

vlc porn.3gp vlc:quit

Thx so much!

vlc porn.3gp vlc:quit

Mmmh, I'm sorry
I added
"play-and-exit=1"
and set
"play-and-stop=1"
in my "vlcrc"
Then typed "vlc.exe -I rc good.mp3 vlc:quit" in the cmd window. Vlc plays the file
but, when finished playing the cmd-window is still on my desktop. And vlc is waiting for an input
after entering "quit" vlc ends and closes the window. I use version 0.8.6e Janus on a WIN XPprof SP2++ machine.
any suggestions?

The option only works if you let the file play through (i.e. reaches the end of file). Using the stop command does not works as the file has not reached the end.
I am using VLC within MythTV so am working out how to map the stop button of the remote control to the quit command of VLC, this will provide manual exit on stop.
