I'm trying to play a dvd via the command line

vlc dvdsimple://[device][@raw_device][@[title][,[chapter][,angle]]]

The following works:

vlc dvdsimple://e:

But how do I add title/chapter/angle to the command?
Could someone show me an example command
to play the second chapter from a dvd?

Thanks.

(or maybe @0,2 or @1,2)

Nope.

With those I get:

dvdread error: DVDRead cannot open source: e:@1,2
vcd error: no movie tracks found
main error: no suitable access module for `dvdsimple://e:@1,2'

(It seems to be trying to play
the drive: "e:@1,2" when I give
it that kind of command...)

rha !!! the help is wrong. You need to use a ':' instead of ','

Okay, still not working...
I now have the command:
vlc simpledvd://e:@e:@1:1:1

And I get:

vcd error: no movie tracks found
main error: no suitable access module for `simpledvd://e:@e:@1:1:1'

If you can get it to work, could you paste the command you use?

this works on linux on windows it would be :

That works, thanks.

The command I've used now is:

C:\progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc "dvdsimple://e:@2:1"

To play the 2nd video on the dvd...
