You can for instance: vlc --scale .25 -I dummy http://someIP/somevideo.mpg or cvlc --scale .25 http://someIP/somevideo.mpg use CTRL+q to quit There are lots of command line options to vlc http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help only think I couldn't figure out quickly was how to force the position of the window where I want it tried using --video-x and --video-y with --no-embedded-video (could be cause I'm using XFCE?) Also you might play with the vlc preferences with minimal view mode or try something like --qt-minimal-view -Tomas -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
