View source for Qt Interface

== Introduction ==

Qt / Qt4 is the default, plain, graphical, [[interface]] to VLC, made using the [http://www.trolltech.org/qt Qt] library (linux users may need to have this installed). It is used as the default interface on the [[Windows]] and [[Linux]] versions of {{VLC}} from version 0.9.0 and up.


Unless you change the [[preferences]], {{VLC}} > 0.9.0 will start up in the Qt4 interface, but you can force this by running
 vlc '''-I qt'''
or
 qvlc


If Qt4 is not avaliable, it will probably revert to using the [[Console|rc]] (console) interface, even if you force it. The most likely reason for this is if Qt4 hasn't been installed, or if it wasn't linked in (using the ./configure). See [[compiling VLC]] [http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/] for information on compiling.
