Running VLC in Background & switch to another Channel

Hi!

I use vlc on a Linux-Machine to stream several channels from 2 DVB-S
Cards. Work very good :)

But i can't let VLC run in Background. When i try i get the errormessage

Can't open Display

Another problem (?) is that i wan't to switch the channel per IP. I have
for example the following sout:

#duplicate{
dst=standard{access=rtp,mux=ts,url=host1:1234},select="program=1",
dst=standard{access=rtp,mux=ts,url=host2:1234},select="program=2",
dst=standard{access=rtp,mux=ts,url=host3:1234},select="program=3",
}

When i wan't to switch the program for host2 i have to stop vlc and restart it. The problem is that all other streams will stop (also the streams for host1 and host3). Is it possible to go another way ?

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,
Kai.
