"Well this shouldn't be too much of a problem to get running.

First off, you need to make sure you have VLC installed. If you don't have it, nab it from the Ubuntu repo's thusly:

Code:
sudo apt-get install vlc


Or get it from the Add/Remove New Software application in the start menu.

Then you have to have Java running in order to get it started up, too. So make sure you have the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed.

Now, this little script requires VLC to reside in /usr/bin/. I don't know where ubuntu drops the VLC executable, but

Code:
whereis vlc


should find it for you. If it isn't in /usr/bin/, make a symbolic link to it.

Code:
sudo ln -s <where vlc is> /usr/bin/vlc


"

hope im not violating any terms by linking to another forum... just wanted to spread the info.

thank you....
fahad.

peace.
