Hi,

I'm reading a live video stream with VLC 3.0 on Windows 7, and I would like to get the bitrate of that stream.
I can see it by using the statistic tab (Ctrl+I), but I need to catch it.

I tried the command line option "--sout-stats-output=<string>" to write the stats into a fil instead of stdout, but this option is not working...

Thank you for your answers

Hello,

--sout-stats-output is related to the "stats" sout output, which is the stream output (and not input).
There is no easy way to capture the bitrate displayed in the statistics tab unless you develop something yourself.
