Well it is vlc:quit and it does not work on opie, gpe, redhat when using 
a network input. Thus "opie-vlc udp://@:1234 vlc:quit" or "vlc 
udp://@:1234 vlc:quit" does not work. I verified this with 
vlc-0.5.3-test1 and assume vlc-0.5.2 has the same omission. Could 
someone verify this?

However when reading from a file it does work. Did you do this "vlc 
myfile.mpg vlc:quit" on redhat, Andrew? I think so.

Why doesn't it work with network inputs? Well a network input cannot 
detect an EOF situation. It could happen that no packets arrive during 
some time, but a little later there are new packets. So when is the 
stream ended then? There is no way to tell for sure.

This situation can only be fixed when client and server talk directly 
with each other, e.g. with RTSP.
