Command Line --volume syntax

[ace2056]

Hey guys I've been playing a bit with the command prompt, ultimately making a little program to play music videos silently as my desktop background. It's actually all working, but when I use the --volume command to set the volume to 0, it still plays the vid at 100% volume.

Executing

Code: Select all

vlc "F:\My Videos\Music Videos\Music Videos.m3u"

I've tried appending:
--volume=0
--volume="0"
--volume=<0> (wrong, I know)
--volume=[0]

Simple fix I'm sure, but can someone help me with a little syntax error? Also, I'm using a digital output, but vlc may not know any better. Another also, I don't want to use --no-audio because I want to be able to listen to the video if I choose to later, just initially start muted.

Hello, this fuction is buggy now.
Correct syntaxe is --volume=1024 or --volume=0

Volume is not saved when you close and open VLC.
It's probably the same bug at startup.

[VLC_help]

Volume is not saved when you close and open VLC.

IIRC that will be fixed in VLC 1.2.0 with QT4 interface.
