Hi,
Can I run "vlc.exe --intf rc" in a dos box, and redirect the standardIn of this dos box from within my vb.net application?
If so, I could then use StreamWriter to write commands to vlc.....
Can this be done?
I did something similar from Java on Solaris. In order to make it actually work as expected I had to use the (not very well documented) --rc-fake-tty option. It also doesn't hurt to make sure you are consuming the stdout and stderr from VLC or you could end up with a deadlocked process.
Related to this, from a DOS box, if I type "vlc.exe --help > out.text", I should be redirecting Standard Out to the text file, but this doesn't work either.
Could someone tell me why this is? Any help appreciated......
I noticed this on Windows, and frankly find it really annoying. I wanted to capture some text from the output of vlc -vvv and not only is file redirection bypassed, but the console window that opens doesn't cooperate with text selection.
