Playing MP3 totally invisibly

Postby JonF » 25 Oct 2024 16:28

I'm trying to run VLC from a terminal window with nothing showing on-screen. (Actually from AutoIT but this seems to be the best way.) Start it, play an MP3, and exit. This almost works:

Code: Select all

vlc --qt-start-minimized --no-play-and-pause --play-and-exit --no-qt-system-tray "F:\03.mp3"
But a small window slides in at the lower right and disappears shortly after VLC exits. Can I prevent this? I can't find anything relevant in VLC command-line help on the Wiki.
