hi,

on dvb-t on each frequency there are more than just one program
how can i start vlc from command line directly on a program, and not on the first one and then change program manually ?

my English is not the best i hope question is clear

vlc dvb-t://... :program=<SID>

how do i determine <SID> ?
be cause i already tried that option ... and now i guess i put <SID> wrong (i used 1,2,etc. or actual channel name, both didn't worked)

REALLY ?!? no one knows the answer on this one ?!?
i can't believe

The program IDs depend on your broadcaster. If you don't have the list anywhere, you may need to scan the frequencies.

the frequency i use for dvb-t i got from a site where is listed all frequencies in my country

LE google it and found w_scan ... problem is i'm not on linux, i'm on windows

so, ok, how do i scan frequencies with vlc on windows ?

that is the first question
second question:

i managed to boot some linux, and scaned ...
scan result:
Pro Tv HD:546000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_1_2:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_16:HIERARCHY_NONE:256:258:101

w_scan result:
Pro Tv HD;ProTv:546000:I999B8C23D0M64T8G16Y0:T:27500:256=27:258=eng;259:0:0:101:86:1:0

so i did tried every number that is different on second one, it still starts only on first/default one

so, which one is the SID ?

and let me remid you the original topic: i don't want to start playing and then change channel, i want to start directly on some channel other than default

The program IDs depend on your broadcaster. If you don't have the list anywhere, you may need to scan the frequencies.

I use VLC Media player and get the stream from my server and go to menu Tools ---> Codec information(Crtl+J) . I will see the Program all :
such as : Program 703 after that I don't know how to use it in LibVLC ? please give me some sample code

Thanks so much

:program as an option

:program as an option

what is option you mean ? I have to purchase code or other way to do

Best Regard
