Parole command line auto exit

bi2thumbs · 2018-10-27 16:08:00

I want to run Parole from a tcl script. It mostly works but Parole doesn't exit by itself when the video is finished playing. I don't see any command line options to tell it to exit after playing current file.
How do I get Parole to exit after playing current file?

Doesn't seem possible natively. Here's a discussion with someone trying to do that in a generic way with a Python script, but it involves calculating the length of the video, and is quite inelegant.

You might consider using VLC (cvlc) with the --play-and-exit flag.

Thanks for the welcome, quick reply and the good information.
I tried vlc and it works like a champ.
Thanks a bunch!
