Other programming languages • Re: Bash script to launch vlc

Have you tried running

Code:

vlc --fullscreen --no-video-title-show --mouse-hide-timeout 5 --loop file:///var/www/html/commands/vid2.mp4

manually from a bash terminal?

Did you get the same (or a similar) error?

Maybe use cvlc. This works for me, run the script from a Terminal on the pi when another video is already playing in VLC - it switches to angry.mp4

Code:

#!/bin/bashsudo killall vlcsleep .5cvlc  --no-video-title-show --loop file:///home/pi/Videos/angry.mp4
