VLC won't shut up
by smallpond from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5H4GV)
Just installed F33 and my usual set of other software and ran into this. I use cvlc to play audio files, and to stop them when I answer the phone or am on zoom. But quit no longer works:
Code:~$ pgrep vlc
90754
~$ /usr/bin/vlc -I dummy vlc://quit
VLC media player 3.0.11.1 Vetinari (revision )
[000055bbfde7a620] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...
[00007f2a78001120] idummy demux: command `quit'
~$ pgrep vlc
90754
~$ cvlc vlc://quit

~$ pgrep vlc
90754
~$ killall vlc
~$ pgrep vlc
~$I have added myself to the audio group. Not sure if there was any other configuration I needed. Anyone else using vlc?
Edit: vlc://pause:10 doesn't work either. Just keeps playing.
