Hi all!
I am new VLC on linux
I am trying to get the statistics (Stream and Media Info )of the video stream in linux like the one we get for windows

These statistics are ..

Decoded blocks, Played Buffers, Lost Buffers, Displayed frames, Lost Frames, Input Bitrate, Stream Bitrate etc...

Can anyone please guide me how to do this on command line interface for vlc in linux??

You can to some extent
while the video (or whatever) is playing go Ctrl+j or tools -> Codec information

Using the rc interface you can ask for the statistics with the command "stats"
stats
+----[ begin of statistical info ]
+-[Incoming]
| input bytes read : 1606 kB
| input bitrate : 219 kb/s
| demux bytes read : 1352 kB
| demux bitrate : 209 kb/s
|
+-[Video Decoding]
| video decoded : 1075
| frames displayed : 1063
| frames lost : 3
|
+-[Audio Decoding]
| audio decoded : 1372
| buffers played : 1372
| buffers lost : 2

I don't know any over way (maybe soon with libvlc)
