General discussion • Re: autostart VLC player with RTSP stream

On a Pi5 running Bookworm with labwc (i.e. standard), this works for me: login as pi

Code:

nano .config/labwc/autostart[autostart]vlc /home/pi/Videos/bunny.mp4

save and exit, reboot.

You don't need [autostart]. That's a wayfire.ini thing. Having it there may have a negative impact as $HOME/.config/labwc/autostart is run as a shell script and both [ and ] have special meaning.* I might be wrong though as I've not tested it.

*: I'd expect it to try to run any and all files in the pwd named a,u,t,o,s, or r
