Postby imagica71 » 11 Aug 2020 22:06

Hello,
i am trying to play a movie from the command line on mac without gui but cannot get it work:

if I run:

Code: Select all

vlc -I rc --no-video-deco --no-osd /Users/imagica/Desktop/head_content.mp4
I get:

Code: Select all

[00007f818be1a190] macosx window error: Cannot create vout as Mac OS X interface was not found [00007f818c9049e0] caopengllayer vout display error: No drawable-nsobject found! [00007f818c9049e0] macosx vout display error: No drawable-nsobject nor vout_window_t found, passing over. [00007f818dc200f0] main video output error: video output creation failed [00007f818bc5fa40] main decoder error: failed to create video output
