libvlc without video

Hi, I'm using libvlc on an embedded project where only audio functionality is used.
In order to reduce storage footprint on the embedded device, I was wondering whether entire video and frontend functionalities can be stripped off when building.

Is that possible in bulk without selecting features to disable one by one?

Thanks

To disable video at runtime, use

Code: Select all

--no-video
in

Code: Select all

libvlc_new
or media options.

I don't know but I don't think so. You could check the video_output folder and disable each plugin one by one when building.

Thanks mfki for the answer.

Code: Select all

--no-video
could definitely help to save resources at runtime.
I will take a look at disabling plugins individually.
