Automatically loading media capture device

Hi Everyone,

As I am sure everyone will see, I am new to VLC functionality. I am wondering if anyone can point me in the general direction of how to make VLC at startup (either of the computer or through opening VLC) automatically open a capture device, set it to 30 FPS, and rotate it 180 degrees. I know how to do those things via the gui but I am curious if it is possible to automate those tasks.

Basically my setup is that I have a webcam attached to a ceiling (hence the rotate 180 degrees) and whenever VLC is opened I would like that to automatically show the webcam video. I am not interested in recording any of the information.

Any advice would be appreciated!

You should get the URL generated when you play this device. Then you can put that in preferences and it will always load that.
