Start with ~vlc your_video_file.ext --volume=value

example:

your_video_file.ext = D:\test.mp4

value ​​= round up (your specific volume * 2.56)

your specific volume = 77
77 * 2.56 = 197.12
round up (197.12) = 198

value for your specific volume = 198

Start with:
~vlc D:\test.mp4 --volume=77

file not found on vlc
vlc or vlc.exe or ~vlc on command line wont start vlc, but double click on movie does normally, reinstalled, checked but wont start it
and start movie by just test.avi --volume=77 wont do the trick

for "~ vlc" mechanism, must you write the entire path of the vlc.exe.

I'm sorry, what I have written here
Start with:
~ vlc D:\test.mp4 --volume=77
is wrong. That's right:
Start with:
~ vlc D:\test.mp4 --volume=198
Here is an example:

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" D:\MyUsername\Videos\Bartoli.mkv -f --volume=198

-f switch to full screen mode and --volume=198 sets the volume to 77%.

Yes, that's right. The parameter --volume are not respected by 2.1.x

This is one of many bugs in Rincewind.

I work, therefore, only with VLC 2.0.8

Hi,

according to information from VieoLAN this is not a bug, it is explicitly deprecated since 2.1.0.

See here: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/10492

--directx-volume=0.35 works fine, will start movie with 35% volume
