To rsolve: *"java.io.IOException: Invalid XML"* error message:

Replace the string in the shortcut: "PATH DIRECTORY" --extraintf=luahttp 
--fullscreen --http-album-art --qt-start-minimized

Use the string from the VLC wiki instead: "PATH DIRECTORY" --extraintf http 
--intf wx

Now the VLC player will run in the background with no apparent interface, but 
the app works perfectly!

You can go back to the regular VLC interface by replacing the string to: "PATH 
DIRECTORY" -I qt

Hope it helps you :)

I had this issue too. But I didn't like that you couldn't use the interface in 
VLC on your computer with the "PATH DIRECTORY" --extraintf http --intf wx

If you use this, then you will be able to remotely controll VLC and controll it 
on your computer too :)

"PATH DIRECTORY" --extraintf http --fullscreen --http-album-art 
--qt-start-minimized

I'll try it, THANKS!

Although I found out the regular interface can be reached with the short script 
as well, if you press the VLC task bar icon, it brings up the VLC player 
regular menu. If it doesn't, try checking the "qt" box (in Preferences >> + 
Interface >>  + Main Interfaces >> HTTP) might work as well...

There are trade-offs between the two interfaces; http seems to work better for 
album art, and luahttp works better for DVD navigation.  I think http might be 
overall more stable than luahttp.
