VLC media player for Linux and friends Troubleshooting • daemon mode



I would like to start VLC in background: I want to start it at boot time and use the http interface to wake it up, while still having access to the regular gui interface.

I believe:

Code:

vlc -d --http-password=pass --control=http --qt-start-minimized

would do what I wanted, however it doesn’t work on my (fairly standard) raspberry pi (debian 12/bookworm): it still opens the “playlist” view at the start. I checked the same command works on Ubuntu 22.04. Any ideas what might be missing in my system that would prevent VLC from starting minimized?
