vlc modified script help needed
 

hi

I have a live cd that has this issue with a debian stable vlc

click on a file that vlc can play in gui and nothing happens after associating it with vlc.

run vlc in command mode and you get the following error

I can half resolve it by running the command

Naturally I want to automate above to avoid the command line if possible.

2) I tried to create a new script to associate in my file manager with media files....but it does not play the file but will show the gui vlc and then I have to manually navigate to go to the file

my amateur script looks like
3) if anyone knows how to mod a script correctly please help

my hard drive running of vlc is not an issue

thanks heaps in advance

in gnome you can use 'nautilus scripts'

TryNote, I prefer to use qvlc instead of vlc .

The exec means that vlc will replace the shell. Normally, the shell would run the command but stay in memory itself; since there is nothing further to do in the script but to start VLC, it's better to exec instead.

The magic is the "$@" at the end. The shell will replace it with each command-line parameter, just the way they were specified.
