Command line to minimize & stream VLC?

Postby ineuw » 18 Jun 2012 00:55

I would like to start the Vlc player 2.0.1 from the command line, minimized in the system tray and streaming a url. This code works fine: vlc "http://www.koqx.com:8000", but I couldn't find any info to start the player in the system tray. Is this possible in Win XP?
