I am able to launch vlc through the my command prompt (I'm on windows fyi) and it works just fine doing it like this:\r\n\r\nvlc --fullscreen \"C:\\Users\\Emu\\\\.emulationstation\\systems\\vlc\\NameOfFile.avi\" \r\n\r\nI've tried a ton of different combinations in the es_config to get this working and I can get it to launch vlc, but it won't open the video file. This is what I currently have:\r\n\t\r\n<command>C:\\Users\\Emu\\\\.emulationstation\\systems\\vlc\\vlc.exe --fullscreen \"%ROM%\"</command>\r\n\r\nIt will open VLC, but will not open a video file. I noticed when I took away the quotes around ROM and added a space to my filename I got an error in VLC that showed me it was trying to find a video file in \"C:\\Program Files\\....\" but shouldn't the %ROM% tag be adding the directory where the files are located into the command? Any advice is appreciated!\r\n\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Aloshi/EmulationStation/issues/comments/75418158","html_url":"https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation/issues/310#issuecomment-75418158","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Aloshi/EmulationStation/issues/310","id":75418158,"user":{"login":"Aloshi","id":2001164,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2001164?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Aloshi","html_url":"https://github.com/Aloshi","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Aloshi/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Aloshi/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Aloshi/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Aloshi/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Aloshi/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Aloshi/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Aloshi/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Aloshi/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Aloshi/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-22T03:51:41Z","updated_at":"2015-02-22T03:51:41Z","body":"I've finally some changes to how ES handles paths on Windows. `%ROM%` and `%ROM_RAW%` now use the platform's native directory separator (i.e. backslashes on Windows, forward slashes on everything else). `%ROM%` is also now properly escaped on Windows (enclosed in quotes, instead of escaped with backslashes). While I was at it, I made non-ASCII paths work on Windows as well. That should resolve this issue. Sorry it took me so long to do.\r\n\r\nSee commits 1500edbde3039863437851799f3a581e20c496d7 and df896cb933882219572b4639cd2347ecf45fd102 for details."}}
