How to Run VLC with no GUI

[krassy1809]

Hi all ,

I want to run VLC without Graphic Interface.
I need to do this , because i want spy on microphone.
The main idea is : VLC capture the microphone sounds , then convert audio to sweetable low bitrate stream , and then do UDP streaming to the specific Public IP address. Everything is need to work without user knowing and also to work everytime when computer is started.
I successfuly wrote the command line for streaming.
How i can disable GUI ?
Do i Need cutting source code and then precompile the player ?
Or is a simple and elegant solution to do this ?
Is possible finaly everything to work like service , wich service start automaticaly when MS Windows Start ?

Thanx in advice !

No, unless you need new features.

There is Windows service module

Code: Select all

Windows Service interface --ntservice-install, --no-ntservice-install Install Windows Service (default disabled) Install the Service and exit. (default disabled) --ntservice-uninstall, --no-ntservice-uninstall Uninstall Windows Service (default disabled) Uninstall the Service and exit. (default disabled) --ntservice-name=<string> Display name of the Service Change the display name of the Service. --ntservice-options=<string> Configuration options Configuration options that will be used by the Service (eg. --foo=bar --no-foobar). It should be specified at install time so the Service is properly configured. --ntservice-extraintf=<string> Extra interface modules Additional interfaces spawned by the Service. It should be specified at install time so the Service is properly configured. Use a comma separated list of interface modules. (common values are: logger, sap, rc, http)

Thanx . it works . I use also --dummy-quiet option. I think it`s not nessesary to run vlc like service in my case , all i need is to put command line in registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
