I try to wake up in the morning with VLC and Cron (Mac OS X).
the command Cron should run is :
/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC mms://213.8.138.13/glz-stream
but VLC gives me the following output:
[0x100202b88] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[0x114740818] access_mms access error: error while asking for file -1
[0x114740818] access_mms access error: error while asking for file -1
[0x114740818] access_mms access error: cannot connect to server
[0x114740818] access_mms access error: error: HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable
[0x101e681a8] main input error: open of `mms://213.8.138.13/glz-stream' failed: (null)`
All it does is to add the stream to the playlist – I want to play it immediately (because i wanna get up...)
If i'm trying to play the mms://213.8.138.13/glz-stream
via the GUI, it plays it without any problems.
I also tried the following commands:
open -a "VLC" mms://213.8.138.13/glz-stream<br>
Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC --open mms://213.8.138.13/glz-stream<br>
Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC --play-and-stop mms://213.8.138.13/glz-stream
None of them work, they just add the stream to the playlist.
So how do I play a MMS stream via Mac OS terminal in VLC?
