^ Topic. I've just skimmed vlc --advanced -H and didn't see any option. Is one available? Thanks. _________________ Always cut the deck if it ups your odds.

If you're using xscreensaver you can just run a simple shell script to kill xscreensaver, run vlc, and then restart xscreensaver.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

xscreensaver-command -exit
vlc
xscreensaver -nosplash

If you're using KDE's screen saver or something else I wouldn't know where to begin. Hope this solves your problem.
