Hi Babitha,

I'm looking for the same, did you make any progress on it?

Tanks in advance!

This is everywhere in the doc and so on...
-d for a daemon and so on.

Hi frndz,
The command to run vlc in background using telnet is :
vlc -I dummy --dummy-quiet --extraintf telnet --telnet-port 4000.
Thanks,
Babitha
