Revision as of 17:26, 6 July 2005
As you may have noticed, the command vlc --help is not very useful due to to the non-scrollable pop-up window that opened.
If you look for help, on a particular module, use vlc -p module --advanced
So here the output of vlc --longhelp --advanced as of 15th April 2005 for the development version in Windows.
If you want extra explanations, you can try the --help-verbose option.
Usage: c:\Xtophe\vlc-0.8.2-svn-20050415\vlc.exe [options] [playlistitems] ...
You can specify multiple playlistitems on the commandline. They will be enqueued in the playlist.
The first item specified will be played first.
Options-styles:
--option A global option that is set for the duration of the program.
-option A single letter version of a global --option.
:option An option that only applies to the playlistitem directly before it
and that overrides previous settings.
Playlistitem MRL syntax:
URL[@[title][:chapter][-[title][:chapter]]] [:option=value ...]
Many of the global --options can also be used as MRL specific :options.
Multiple :option=value pairs can be specified.
URL syntax:
[file://]filename Plain media file
http://ip:port/file HTTP URL
ftp://ip:port/file FTP URL
mms://ip:port/file MMS URL
screen:// Screen capture
[dvd://][device][@raw_device] DVD device
