How can I get a list with the names of the video devices?

From VLC GUI I can see and choose the available DirectShow video devices connected to the system.

But I use VLC from command-line and I need the name of those video devices for my scripts.

How can I get them?

Is there any VLC lib function or command-line option for it?

Thank you in advance.

AFAIK there isn't any command-line switch that would show the devices.

And any lib function?

QT4 interface uses following code

Code: Select all

module_config_t *p_config = config_FindConfig( VLC_OBJECT(p_intf), "dshow-vdev" ); vdevDshowW = new StringListConfigControl( VLC_OBJECT(p_intf), p_config, this, false, dshowDevLayout, line );
