disable first run questions

[morristabush]

i'm installing VLC on a terminal server. right now whenever a user launches VLC for the first time it prompts them to allow downloading content information and doing automatic updates. how can i disable both of these options from a registry or other "base" level, so the users are not prompted on first run?

thanks!

also any way to set for all users to do "minimal View" in preferences, and uncheck "system tray icon" and "popups" options in preferences?

VLC doesn't store settings to registry. They are stored to %appdata%\vlc folder (settings file is vlcrc).

You can use command-line switches if you don't want to see the QT4 permission dialog (same for other options)

Code: Select all

--qt-privacy-ask, --no-qt-privacy-ask Ask for network policy at start (default enabled) Ask for network policy at start (default enabled)
