VLC Service with playlist

[alf]

Hello,

is it possible to start a VLC NT service with a playlist? I need a http interface showing a playlist (whatever format), so a user can select a stream/file from the list and it plays the item. Everything works for now (access to the website using a browser etc), except nothing shows up in the playlist. Starting the command by hand works, all items on the playlist show up.

My current command options:

Code: Select all

C:\somewhere\vlc.exe -I ntservice --ntservice-install --ntservice-name "VLC FM Player 1" --ntservice-extraintf http --ntservice-options "--config C:\somewhere\vlcrc" C:\somewhere\FMRadio.pls

In the services panel, I can see the whole command without the playlist option.

Does it help if you add playlist as first command-line option?

Like that?

Code: Select all

C:\somewhere\vlc.exe C:\somewhere\FMRadio.pls -I ntservice --ntservice-install --ntservice-name "VLC FM Player 1" --ntservice-extraintf http --ntservice-options "--config C:\somewhere\vlcrc"

No, it simply overrides the playlist. It results into the same command line as shown above.

Could you also open logger interface and check if it complains something when you start VLC?

What command line options I have to add using the NT service? Using the standard interface it works, but how can I do that in service mode?

--ntservice-extraintf logger should hopefully open it.
