I got VLC to play in Screen1 with the following command:<br>
<br>
DISPLAY=:0.1 vlc file://%s vlc://quit<br>
<br>
But there is no sound. Setting spdif=1 in vlcrc does not help.<br>

Did you manage to sort this out, if so how? I am trying a similar thing, except I am also looking to have vlc stream the file to a multicast address. VLC does this OK on its own. <br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br>
</div><div>I have made no progress. VLC works fine when I call it from the main menu but then I have to manually select the file from a file manager menu. The most difficult thing is getting the mouse off of the myth background and onto the small VLC program. It was suggested that I uninstall pulse audio but it is not installed. I have no idea. I am basically living with it. The built in player will play most things and when it won't, I open VLC from the main menu. By main menu, I mean I added a button on the main menu to open VLC.</div>
