[vlc] Strange behaviour of interfaces

[Henning Schal]

Ok, that helped a lot.

with the option -vvv I found out, that vlc doesn`t like not to have a tty!

All together:
It works, if you put
#vlc -I rc --rc-fake-tty --rc-host 127.0.0.1:8123 absolutePathToFile
into a script that is called via
#scriptname &

best regards and thx for the quick help
