How to select camera by index when running VLC from cmd?

[OleJak]

When I start VLC from cmd how\is it possible to select a camera for directshow source by index (for example i have camera "A" and camera "B" so i would say 0 for "A" and 1 for "B")

You can use device name.

Code: Select all

--dshow-vdev={,none} Video device name Name of the video device that will be used by the DirectShow plugin. If you don't specify anything, the default device will be used.

I understend but if i do not know device name and i do not know camera name - only its index (0, 1...)?

[VLC_help]

There isn't option for that.
