Doesn't recognize vlc on windows

Open edenkl8 opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

Hi :) I'm using emacs on windows and want to use bongo to hear my music but, from some reason it doesn't recognize my vlc.

What can it be?

Thank you!

Is the vlc executable in your PATH?

As far as I've checked it is.

Managed to fix this, apparently there was a file missing.

But now I just always get a pop up that says: "VLC media player could not start. Either the command line options were invalid or no plugins ere found"

Unfortunately I confronted the same problem too, the VLC media player could not start.

I dropped the parameter --rc-fake-tty in the bongo.el file, the VLC remote process started but there is no playback of the selected file.
