The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

I want to start vlc via command line using a specific title for the window.
The video is streamed from a dlna device.
It does not work for me. I get a part of the URL in the title, but cant set a custom title.

What i did:

VLCPortable.exe --one-instance --no-qt-recentplay --no-playlist-enqueue --playlist-autostart --no-embedded-video --video-title=test http://192.168.99.51:7501/TUNER-0004-00 ... -445e-14e6

VLCPortable.exe --one-instance --no-qt-recentplay --no-playlist-enqueue --playlist-autostart --no-embedded-video --meta-title=test http://192.168.99.51:7501/TUNER-0004-00 ... -445e-14e6

The video is playing fine (thanks vlc team, great player since ages).
Cant get the string "test" to show up.
Please help.

VLCPortable.exe is not supported here.

Yes, I can understand that.
I will install VLC and try again.

VLC: 3.0.16
Win: 10

Starting VLC via link like:
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" D:\x\winprog\vlc\wiedergabeliste1.xspf
This list perfectly works for switching between the channels, it contains http:// sources.

Now I want to switch to other channels via external batch file in this running instance.
So a batch does:
I think these are more options than necessary, that's because I am not sure what I need.

This switches to the right channel, but I have two problems:
1. I want to show a custom title instead if the URL in the header bar and the video
2. I dont want to add an entry to the playlist. In this case "TUNER-0004-0085-0005-0030-14de" is added to the playlist.

How to solve that?
