Dears,

I am repackaging the VLC Media Player for a client and I want to disable the automatci update in the version 2.0.5.

Please hel p me is if possible to make any changes or modification so that we can disable the automatic update.

I have already tried the bwloe options.

1. I run the following command line : vlc.exe --longhelp to get the command i can use to automate the installation. When i execute : vlc.exe --no-qt-updates-notif --qt-updates-days=0 it seems it doesn't work.

2. Also make the setting in the VLCRC File and change the value qt-updates-notif=0 but it dosent works for me.

It should disable it. But it won't hide it from the menu.

Thanks jean for your quick feedback.

Is their any option to disable the "Check for update" Interface ?
Even if we do the changes in shortcuts by passing the argument "vlc.exe --no-qt-updates-notif --qt-updates-days=0" we cannot verify that the application will auto update or not.Since this is the latest version of VLC 2.0.5 how can we verify that the automatic update is disable in the application.

Your feedback is highly appreciated at the earliest.

Many Thanks

No there is not. This is compile time change.
