Hello together,

I have for my requirements builded a VLC Windows command line. Unfortunately I must change to Mac but have no skills in MacOS. Could some Mac expert help me please to translate the following Windows command line?

That's my working Windows VLC ommand line:

vlc file:///"C:/temp/Video/Test.mp4" --sout=#duplicate{dst=display{delay=500},dst=es{access-audio=http,mux-audio=ts,dst-audio=:8080/}} --no-sout-display-audio :sout-keep


And maybe that's the MacOS command line.

$ /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC /Test.mp4 --sout='#duplicate{dst=display{delay=500,dst=es{access-audio=http,mux-audio=ts,dst-audio=:8080/}} --no-sout-display-audio :sout-keep


But I'm not sure because I get a error message from the Mac

The VLC Mac Wiki is very rudimentary and don't help me very.

Many thanks for your help!

Please try to put the stuff behind sout in quotes correctly, like this:

/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC /Test.mp4 --sout="#duplicate{dst=display{delay=500,dst=es{access-audio=http,mux-audio=ts,dst-audio=:8080/}}" --no-sout-display-audio :sout-keep

The missing quotes were the solution.

Many thanks for your support!
