# Init.d service for starting VLC at boot
Start a init.d VLC script at boot on your Raspberry PI for example in this case to loop videos in a specific folder.
In this example, VLC is executed as the pi user since the root user is denied using VLC, see vlc_start.sh
## Usecase
Use a raspberry PI connected to a screen to loop some videos with VLC :
## Install
```
git clone git@github.com:bertrandmartel/vlc-boot.git && cd vlc-boot
cp vlc_boot.sh /bin/
cp start_vlc.sh /bin/
cp vlc_boot /etc/init.d/
update-rc.d vlc_boot defaults
systemctl enable vlc_boot
```
## Usage
* start
```
service vlc_boot start
```
* stop
```
service vlc_boot stop
```
* restart
```
service vlc_boot restart
```
## Uninstall
```
update-rc.d -f vlc_boot remove
```
## USB Volume path
Note that the USB path is retrieved using `lsblk -o LABEL,MOUNTPOINT` so it won't work if you are using usbmount utility for example
