Disabling Hotkeys

[chuck2nd]

We are using VLC for critical live stream video surveillance and had a user hit the pause button accidentally resulting in buffering to a tmp directory. Is there a way to disable pause permanently? I know hotkeys can be 'unset', but users could theoretically set them up again. Is there a way to disable hotkeys permanently without having to modify source?
thanks,
Chuck

This works for me, but YMMV depending on your platform:

Code: Select all

vlc -I dummy --no-keyboard-events --no-mouse-events

Thank you. That worked perfect.

Be careful about Windows video outputs.

Is there a way to selectively disable's only certain keyboard events? I have a batch script that automatically loops a playlist fullscreen, and I don't want users to be able to pause or skip, but they need to be able to get out of VLC by pressing escape.

Unset the key bindings?

Right, other than that, I mean. I'm looking for something that can be done from the command line, and doesn't require interacting with the GUI to accomplish.

Unset the key bindings using the CLI parameters or a custom configuration file.
