How can the vlc:// protocol be utilized in PHP to start VLC with parameters and avoid the issue of the echo command delay?

The issue of the echo command delay can be avoided by using the `shell_exec()` function in PHP to execute the VLC command with parameters directly. This will prevent the delay caused by the echo command waiting for the VLC process to finish before displaying the output. 

$vlcCommand = 'vlc://<path_to_media_file> --fullscreen'; // Define the VLC command with parameters
$output = shell_exec($vlcCommand); // Execute the VLC command using shell_exec
echo $output; // Output any response from the VLC command
