View source for VLC command-line help

:''See also [[Command line]], [[Console|Console interfaces]]''
Running the command
 vlc --help
will create a .TXT file containing all the command-line options.

You can also use this to get more exhaustive list:
 vlc -H

If you look for help, on a particular module, you can also use
 vlc -p module --advanced

To view this without leaving the command-line in Windows, use the following command (assuming you installed it in the default folder):
 more "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc-help.txt"
This trick uses the command-line command <code>more</code> to show the file screen-by-screen. Pressing spacebar will advance the output a screen at a time, and pressing enter will advance the output one line at a time.

Undocumented option:
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><nowiki>-vvv     "Verbose verbose verbose". Verbose output (debug infos can be displayed by selecting "Debug logging" interface under View->Add Interface menu)</nowiki></pre>

Here's the output of ''vlc -H'' of the stable 2.1.3 under Windows. If you are looking for 0.8.6 help, go [[VLC-0-8-6_command-line_help]]. If you are looking for 0.9.x help, go [[VLC-0-9-x_command-line_help]]. If you are looking for 1.0.x help, go [[VLC-1-0-x_command-line_help]]. If you are looking for 1.1.x help, go [[VLC-1-1-x_command-line_help]]

          Create video buffers in system memory instead of video memory. This
          isn't recommended as usually using video memory allows benefiting
          from more hardware acceleration (like rescaling or YUV->RGB
          conversions). This option doesn't have any effect when using

                                 Channel 4: bottom
          Maps the hardware channel X to logical zone Y to fix wrong wiring :-)
      --atmo-channels=<string>   Channel / Zone Assignment
          for devices with more than five channels / zones write down here for
          each channel the zone number to show and separate the values with ,
          or ; and use -1 to not use some channels. For the classic AtmoLight
          the sequence 4,3,1,0,2 would set the default channel/zone mapping.
          Having only two zones on top, and one zone on left and right and no
          summary zone the mapping for classic AtmoLight would be -1,3,2,1,0

                                 Delay
          Pictures coming from the picture video outputs will be delayed
          according to this value (in milliseconds, should be >= 100 ms). For
          high values, you will need to raise caching values.
      --sout-bridge-in-id-offset=<integer [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]>
                                 ID Offset
          Offset to add to the stream IDs specified in bridge_out to obtain the
          stream IDs bridge_in will register.

                                 Fallback to placeholder stream when out of
                                 data (default disabled)
          If set to true, the bridge will discard all input elementary streams
          except if it doesn't receive data from another bridge-in. This can be
          used to configure a place holder stream when the real source breaks.
          Source and placeholder streams should have the same format.  (default
          disabled)
      --sout-bridge-in-placeholder-delay=<integer [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]>

                                 (default enabled)
          If enabled, switching between the placeholder and the normal stream
          will only occur on I frames. This will remove artifacts on stream
          switching at the expense of a slightly longer delay, depending on the
          frequence of I frames in the streams. (default enabled)

          Delay after which SAP items get deleted if no new announcement is
          received.
      --sap-parse, --no-sap-parse
                                 Try to parse the announce (default enabled)
          This enables actual parsing of the announces by the SAP module.
          Otherwise, all announcements are parsed by the "live555" (RTP/RTSP)
          module. (default enabled)
      --sap-strict, --no-sap-strict
                                 SAP Strict mode (default disabled)

                                 PMT Program numbers
          Assign a program number to each PMT. This requires "Set PID to ID of
          ES" to be enabled.
      --sout-ts-es-id-pid, --no-sout-ts-es-id-pid
                                 Set PID to ID of ES (default disabled)
          Sets PID to the ID if the incoming ES. This is for use with
          --ts-es-id-pid, and allows having the same PIDs in the input and
          output streams. (default disabled)
      --sout-ts-muxpmt=<string>  Mux PMT (requires --sout-ts-es-id-pid)
          Define the pids to add to each pmt. This requires "Set PID to ID of

                                 Data alignment (default enabled)
          Enforces alignment of all access units on PES boundaries. Disabling
          this might save some bandwidth but introduce incompatibilities.
          (default enabled)
      --sout-ts-shaping=<integer [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]>
                                 Shaping delay (ms)
          Cut the stream in slices of the given duration, and ensure a constant
          bitrate between the two boundaries. This avoids having huge bitrate
          peaks, especially for reference frames.
      --sout-ts-use-key-frames, --no-sout-ts-use-key-frames
                                 Use keyframes (default disabled)
          If enabled, and shaping is specified, the TS muxer will place the
          boundaries at the end of I pictures. In that case, the shaping
          duration given by the user is a worse case used when no reference
          frame is available. This enhances the efficiency of the shaping
          algorithm, since I frames are usually the biggest frames in the
          stream. (default disabled)

 H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC encoder (x264)
      --sout-x264-keyint=<integer [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]>
                                 Maximum GOP size
          Sets maximum interval between IDR-frames.Larger values save bits,
          thus improving quality for a given bitrate at the cost of seeking
          precision. Use -1 for infinite.
      --sout-x264-min-keyint=<integer [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]>
                                 Minimum GOP size
          Sets minimum interval between IDR-frames. In H.264, I-frames do not
          necessarily bound a closed GOP because it is allowable for a P-frame
          to be predicted from more frames than just the one frame before it
          (also see reference frame option). Therefore, I-frames are not
          necessarily seekable. IDR-frames restrict subsequent P-frames from
          referring to any frame prior to the IDR-frame. 
If scenecuts appear
          within this interval, they are still encoded as I-frames, but do not
          start a new GOP.
      --sout-x264-opengop, --no-sout-x264-opengop
                                 Use recovery points to close GOPs (default
                                 disabled)
          use open GOP, for bluray compatibility use also bluray-compat option
          (default disabled)

          disabled)
      --sout-x264-scenecut=<integer [-1 .. 100]>
                                 Extra I-frames aggressivity
          Scene-cut detection. Controls how aggressively to insert extra
          I-frames. With small values of scenecut, the codec often has to force
          an I-frame when it would exceed keyint. Good values of scenecut may
          find a better location for the I-frame. Large values use more
          I-frames than necessary, thus wasting bits. -1 disables scene-cut
          detection, so I-frames are inserted only every other keyint frames,
          which probably leads to ugly encoding artifacts. Range 1 to 100.
      --sout-x264-bframes=<integer [0 .. 16]>

          Force the specified number of consecutive B-frames to be used, except
          possibly before an I-frame.Range 0 to 2.
      --sout-x264-b-bias=<integer [-100 .. 100]>
                                 Influence (bias) B-frames usage
          Bias the choice to use B-frames. Positive values cause more B-frames,
          negative values cause less B-frames.
      --sout-x264-bpyramid={none,strict,normal}
                                 Keep some B-frames as references

          CABAC (Context-Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding). Slightly slows
          down encoding and decoding, but should save 10 to 15% bitrate.
          (default enabled)

                                 Use fullrange instead of TV colorrange
                                 (default disabled)
          TV-range is usually used colorrange, defining this to true will
          enable libx264 to use full colorrange on encoding (default disabled)
      --sout-x264-ref=<integer [1 .. 16]>
                                 Number of reference frames
          Number of previous frames used as predictors. This is effective in
          Anime, but seems to make little difference in live-action source
          material. Some decoders are unable to deal with large frameref
          values. Range 1 to 16.
      --sout-x264-nf, --no-sout-x264-nf

 Kate overlay decoder
 Kate is a codec for text and image based overlays.
The Tiger rendering library is needed to render complex Kate streams, but VLC can still render static text and image based subtitles if it is not available.
Note that changing settings below will not take effect until a new stream is played. This will hopefully be fixed soon.

          interface's crop ratios list.
      --aspect-ratio=<string>    Source aspect ratio
          This forces the source aspect ratio. For instance, some DVDs claim to
          be 16:9 while they are actually 4:3. This can also be used as a hint
          for VLC when a movie does not have aspect ratio information. Accepted
          formats are x:y (4:3, 16:9, etc.) expressing the global image aspect,

                                 Video alignment
          Enforce the alignment of the video in its window. By default (0) it
          will be centered (0=center, 1=left, 2=right, 4=top, 8=bottom, you can
          also use combinations of these values, like 6=4+2 meaning top-right).
      --zoom=<float>             Zoom video
          You can zoom the video by the specified factor.

                                 Subtitle autodetection fuzziness
          This determines how fuzzy subtitle and movie filename matching will
          be. Options are:
0 = no subtitles autodetected
1 = any subtitle
          file
2 = any subtitle file containing the movie name
3 = subtitle
          file matching the movie name with additional chars
4 = subtitle file
          matching the movie name exactly

 Decoders
 This option can be used to alter the way VLC selects its codecs (decompression methods). Only advanced users should alter this option as it can break playback of all your streams.
      --codec=<string>           Preferred decoders list
          List of codecs that VLC will use in priority. For instance,
          'dummy,a52' will try the dummy and a52 codecs before trying the other
          ones. Only advanced users should alter this option as it can break
          playback of all your streams.
      --encoder=<string>         Preferred encoders list
          This allows you to select a list of encoders that VLC will use in
          priority.

 Input
 These options allow you to modify the behavior of the input subsystem, such as the DVD or VCD device, the network interface settings or the subtitle channel.
      --access=<string>          Access module
          This allows you to force an access module. You can use it if the
          correct access is not automatically detected. You should not set this
          as a global option unless you really know what you are doing.
      --demux=<string>           Demux module
          Demultiplexers are used to separate the "elementary" streams (like
          audio and video streams). You can use it if the correct demuxer is
          not automatically detected. You should not set this as a global
          option unless you really know what you are doing.
      --stream-filter=<string>   Stream filter module
          Stream filters are used to modify the stream that is being read.

          This allows you to keep an unique stream output instance across
          multiple playlist item (automatically insert the gather stream output
          if not specified) (default disabled)
      --sout-all, --no-sout-all  Enable streaming of all ES (default disabled)
          Stream all elementary streams (video, audio and subtitles) (default
          disabled)
      --sout-audio, --no-sout-audio
                                 Enable audio stream output (default enabled)
          Choose whether the audio stream should be redirected to the stream

                                 Stream output muxer caching (ms)
          This allow you to configure the initial caching amount for stream
          output muxer. This value should be set in milliseconds.
   VLM:
      --vlm-conf=<string>        VLM configuration file
          Read a VLM configuration file as soon as VLM is started.
      --sap-interval=<integer [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]>
                                 SAP announcement interval
          When the SAP flow control is disabled, this lets you set the fixed
          interval between SAP announcements.
      --mux=<string>             Mux module
          This is a legacy entry to let you configure mux modules

          This is the hop limit (also known as "Time-To-Live" or TTL) of the
          multicast packets sent by the stream output (-1 = use operating
          system built-in default).
      --miface=<string>          Multicast output interface
          Default multicast interface. This overrides the routing table.
      --dscp=<integer [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]>
                                 DiffServ Code Point

          This allows you to select the order in which VLC will choose its
          packetizers.

 Miscellaneous
 These options allow you to select default modules. Leave these alone unless you really know what you are doing.
   Special modules:
      --vod-server=<string>      VoD server module
          You can select which VoD server module you want to use. Set this to
          `vod_rtsp' to switch back to the old, legacy module.
   Plugins:
      --plugins-cache, --no-plugins-cache
                                 Use a plugins cache (default enabled)
          Use a plugins cache which will greatly improve the startup time of
          VLC. (default enabled)
   Performance options:
      --high-priority, --no-high-priority
                                 Increase the priority of the process (default
                                 disabled)
          Increasing the priority of the process will very likely improve your
          playing experience as it allows VLC not to be disturbed by other
          applications that could otherwise take too much processor time.
          However be advised that in certain circumstances (bugs) VLC could
          take all the processor time and render the whole system unresponsive
          which might require a reboot of your machine. (default disabled)
      --clock-source=<string>    Clock source
          Clock source

          Allowing only one running instance of VLC can sometimes be useful,
          for example if you associated VLC with some media types and you don't
          want a new instance of VLC to be opened each time you open a file in
          your file manager. This option will allow you to play the file with
