When I try to use VLC in command line in Windows, it opens up the VLC GUI. So is there a way I can use it as command line command instead?

To confirm are you looking for a headless (No GUI) approach to executing VLC?CraftyB– CraftyB2018-10-19 00:03:42 +00:00Commented Oct 19, 2018 at 0:03

Below is how to run headless vlc...
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -I dummy --dummy-quiet "c:\test\test.mp3"
Just to clarify...
<path to vlc player> -I dummy --dummy-quiet <path to file>

While this works in cmd, in PowerShell it fails with
Unexpected token '-I' in expression or statement.. But prepending it with&seems to fix the issueYakovL– YakovL2023-09-13 07:40:52 +00:00Commented Sep 13, 2023 at 7:40
