Thanks Rico and "Kevin DAGNEAUX <kevin.dagne...@fiitelcom.fr>" Ok -- I've done that! Now if I do the below command I only get one line and the command exit with 1: $ cvlc output.mp3; echo $? VLC media player 3.0.7 Vetinari (revision 3.0.7-0-g86cee31099) 1 Where output.mp3 is a file that is playable. I'm assuming that the above is expected because the codecs/modules/libraries that are required are missing. If I'm correct, what is the best way to know what I need? -- John Doe
