Try running this from a dos command box:
vlc --ntservice-install --ntservice-options "--extraintf http --http-host=:80 --whatever_other_option"

This will install VLC as a service and the service will be started with the command line given in --ntservice-options.

i tried that as well and came to the conclusion that the http interface doesn't work...
or at least the description is wrong, incomplete or whatever.

Code: Select all

Actual_version Version:3 Running VLC as a Windows NT/2K/XP service * Install the service with the following command line: "vlc -I ntservice --ntservice-install --ntservice-extraintf=http". This will activate the http interface as well so you can actually do some useful stuff with the VLC service. * To uninstall the service, just use: "vlc -I ntservice --ntservice-uninstall".
