Hi there

I've a server (debian 3.1RC2) on wich is installed VLC and I use it as streaming server.

I've a small trouble:

I use a playlist (created with a find /home/mp3 -name *.mp3 > playlist.m3u) and run my vlc by launching:

Code: Select all

vlc --loop --random playlist.m3u --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=raw,url=192.168.0.3:10000}' &

The trouble is that when listening with winamp or vlc, the player stops at the end of each song, I've to press the play to launch the listening of the following (but on my server, vlc follow up reading).

I wonder I've some troubles with my command line, but I can't understand wich...
Someone could help me plz?
