VLC media player for Windows Troubleshooting • "–qt-auto-raise=0" not working in windows vlc 3.0.20



Hello everyone,

As I understand it, the “–qt-auto-raise=0” parameter should prevent the VLC window from popping up once a video loads.

However, this doesn’t seem to be working when opening a network stream on windows.

For example, the following command should start playing Big Buck Bunny (Blender studios free movie) from network stream,

Code:

vlc --no-video-title-show --qt-start-minimized --qt-auto-raise=0 https://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov

It initially _does_ start minimized as intended, but as soon as it loads, VLC opens the player window in the foreground.
I would like the player window to remain closed or playing in the background.

I have also tried “–qt-auto-raise={0}”.

My version of VLC is 3.0.20
