VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry.
If you need to use real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports
you can use vlc-wrapper (make sure it is Set-UID root and
cannot be run by non-trusted users first).
Hello Gaurav,
for VLC run as root Please run a below command.
#sed -i ‘s/geteuid/getppid/’ /usr/bin/vlc
It should be work .Thank you !!
it works well!!!
Thanks yar:)
