How do I get to the options in nvlc?

  • 772

I recently found out about the ncurses vlc command line interface, nvlc and tried to access the options with no success; the nvlc -option command as the help manual suggested didn't do anything

I'm trying to make the nvlc --nocolor command permanent to solve a terminal transparency issue. Does anyone know how to get to the options ?

command-line vlc ncurses

  1. Try nvlc --no-color to run in mono mode.

    I usually run vlc -I ncurses --no-color, gives the same result.

    To persist this mono color mode, best to make a shortcut in your path, and run that instead. This should do:

    #! /bin/sh
# run nvlc in monochrome mode
gnome-terminal -x nvlc --no-color

    put this in your path, like /usr/local/bin/vlcmc (for vlc MonoChrome or whatever you prefer) and make the file executable. Use sudo to edit this file. It should now be executable like any other app.

    From here you can also pass the --window-with-profile=[PROFILE] option to terminal, so you can customize the colors/fonts/transparency for your nvlc instance.
