VLC with no console display

Postby officeuse » 27 Nov 2003 03:48

hello, I play with VLC in Window 2000 environment. Can I start the VLC with no Skins and also no Console display ??

If I can do it with command line (that mean start with cmd.exe and type vlc --XXXX), what command will help ?
If I need to compile it again, what option I need to put it during the config ??

Thank You so much ! :D

Hello,

VLC 0.7.0 can be installed as a NT service.

A pre version is available on http://www.videolan.org/pub/testing/vlc-0.7.0-test1

Try "vlc -I dummy --dummy-quiet"

There also are instructions on wiki.videolan.org to install/run VLC as an NT service but unfortunately the wiki is down right now.

One more question :
How can I end the application afterward ??
if i just click the "X" on the right-top corner to close the video ,
the vlc.exe is still alive in the system memory when i check it in the task manager.... :?

Why don't you use the http interface?
vlc -I http --dummy-quiet

Then when you point your browser to localhost:8080 you will see an interface which you can use to control or quit VLC.
