Start VLC and playing Capture device automaticly

Postby JumpingJackal » 05 Feb 2010 10:17

Hello!

I have a Sat -Set-Top-Box.
This Box is plugged with composite in a Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2.
If I want to watch TV, I start VLC, than I have to click on "Open Capture device" and than I click "play"

Is it possible to do a 1-click-start with ?

Now I have: vlc.exe --aspect-ratio 16:9 --fullscreen


Thanks

You could start VLC from a batch file. For example, I use this to watch one TV channel:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=177500000 :dvb-bandwidth=7
I guess you'd substitute the appropriate parameters to describe your capture input.
