The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

It's very difficult to write a command line for the most users. They don't know how or the risk to type something wrong it's very high. So, it will be very usefull to have a button or menu option that output to a msgbox/clipboard/text_file/shortcut the currents settings of VLC and playlist/file/url.
VLC has too many command, filters and options. And command line handling it's hard and difficult.
The best way to deal with this is using and settings all VLC's options in the GUI and then push the command line output and you will have all this settings in a simple row!!!
This function will help users to make batchs command or shortcuts.

I think it's very useful but I know the differences between OSs (win, osx, linux...)

Regards,

Ricky

I found 2 more post taking about the same:

This give me hope!!!

At least 3 VLC users has the same idea LOL!

VLC already creates that stuff. Ticking Show more info displays the MRL info. If you need transcoding command, then Media -> Streaming (last page will show those).

No, it doesn't. At least under windows. I didn't try on OSX or linux, but under windows each time you click the Media menu, all tabs are clear, even when you are already playing a file/stream.
And the most important thing, I want the output of all the other options, like volume, filters...

A full command line wizzard must output something like this:
FullPath to Exe & "\vlc.exe" [parameters] "FullFilePath"
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --sout-mono-downmix --volume 25 "http://streaming.site.com/stream..."

This is what I looking for.
