Customizing VLC

Hello everyone. My college has a wadio (radio over wifi) and we use VLC to connect to it by opening network stream. Everything works fine. VLC is an amazing software! Hats off to its creators! My questions is, there is a particular IP to which we connect to everytime. So can we customize VLC to make it connect to the particular IP when it is opened and also all the other options should be removed. Basically create a special player for wadio from VLC. Any help would be appreciated.

You could create e.g. a batch file (*.bat), if you are using Windows (example here). Then just run the batch file instead.

Hmm. Wonder if a (Windows) shortcut would also work. You'd have to add all that text to the command-line in the Target: field, though.

True - if you create a new shortcut/modify the existing one change in the "Target" filed, which by default will probably say:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"
To for example:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" INPUT
Where INPUT is the IP address.

Hey guys,

I have a similar situation [I believe it's relative to this question...], but here's what I'm trying to do w/no luck so far:

I have a webcam connected to my windows pc & from that pc, I remotely log onto a linux box. I can stream live video from the linux --> windows via VLC & see the live stream in the VLC interface. This is great 'n all, but what I'm ultimately trying to do is take that automatically generated command [generated strip output] line [under the options tab] that VLC generated once you've selected all your desired options/configs and paste it into a text editor and just run the file and watch it display on the windows vlc. Is there a way to customize vlc to do that? Do I need to tweak anything on the window machine, like the .bat file or something?

Thanks a bunch!
