A media resource locator (MRL) is a string of characters used to identify a multimedia resource or part of a multimedia resource. A MRL may be used to identify inputs or outputs to VLC media player.
The MRL syntax is:
[[access][/demux]://]URL[#[title][:chapter][-[title][:chapter]]] [:option=value ...]
(in earlier versions of VLC, the delimiter before the optional title and chapter was '@', not '#'.)
| MRL section | Description | Possible values |
|---|---|---|
| access | How to obtain the media data |
cdda: CD Digital Audio |
| demux | The format of the source data |
a52sys/Raw A/52 demuxer |
| URL | The URI of the source | See http://www.w3.org/TR/uri-clarification/ |
| title | Which title to select for input | Positive integer |
| chapter | Which chapter to select for input | Positive integer |
| option | Options to apply only to the specified MRL | See VLC command-line help for a full list |
Exception
An exception to these rules appears to be with UDP/RTP streams, where it may look like:
udp://@:portnumber # Example: # udp://@:1234 # # Apparently the @ has a meaning like localhost, though # udp://localhost:1234 # doesn't seem to work in this circumstance, for some reason.
