Misconceptions about VLC - 2 Running VLC without interface

15 November 2007

MPlayer is faster than VLC because it is Command Line

I don’t want to use VLC in my server, because I have no X

Grrr….

VLC modules.

VLC has a totally modular architecture and even interfaces are modules!

Use -I or –intf to select an interface.

  • VLC without any GUI but with interaction? Use

vlc -Irc

  • VLC without any GUI and interaction? Use

vlc -Idummy

  • VLC for real geeks? Use

vlc -Incurse

Streaming server.

You are using it as a streamer server, use vlc -Itelnet or vlc -Ihttp

You don’t want to install too many dependencies, then install vlc-nox and not vlc.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you a 1000x. I was looking for something like this on the VLC pages, but found nothing useful. Thanks to Google and your blog i can now continue setting up my X-free server :)
