As I expected since I don't have VLC in my path, start-vlc needed me to supply #:command for it to find the executable. I did notice that the custodian shutdown didn't seem to work as I understood the docs to say. If I run the following short program from Racket at the command line, after Racket exits the VLC process is still running and playing. I would need to add an explicit call to vlc-shutdown. #lang racket (require (planet neil/vlc:1:0)) (define vlc-cmd "/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC") (define vlc (start-vlc #:command vlc-cmd)) (define f "http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=21585";) (vlc-url? f) (vlc-add f) (sleep 10) ;; no call to vlc-shutdown ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
