VLC dummy instance is not closeable

I am currently trying to play a video via the command line without controls.

At this moment everything works fine except that I am not able to close VLC anymore.

Is there a paramter which allows to hide the general controls but lets me close the player at least?

vlc.exe -I dummy http://test.com/test.flv

Solution 1:

When using -I dummy the video will play until the end or until you stop it

You can use S hotkey to stop the video and VLC will exit

The dummy interface will use "no interface" but all Hotkeys are still available
