The VideoLAN Forums

I am sure, I do overlook something... however I can’t locate a hint on how I could possibly send a “quit” command to a running VLC instance over http
I’m perfectly able to send commands like ‘add to playlist’, ‘start playing file’, ‘stop playing current item’ and so on. However, I can’t find any command causing VLC to gracefully exit.

Any help is appreciated.
Best regards

The scripting command for quit is vlc.misc.quit(). You might be able to add this functionality by modifying vlc/share/lua/intf/http.lua but I've not tried.
