For completeness - I think to eliminate the VLC windows you need to remove the "-vvv" and then add "-I dummy --dummy-quiet"
The problem with a VLC process hanging around - I think that is Shairport4W problem not VLC's. AFAICT when an Airplay connection is made a redirection process is started and when Airplay connection is broken process stops (which I think is unecessary) . I think there are probably two issues (i) shairport4w may be not starting the process "correctly" and has not handled some of the inherited file handles or not flushed buffers before closing them (ii) shairport4W needs to manage the process termination properly (i.e. check for a hanging process and remove it ). Frankly this is typical of what happens when trying to implement a Linux type process on Windows and I don't think you'll manage to persuade any of the developers to make changes to support your needs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90070 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
