Specify an rc file on the command line

Postby undergrid » 22 Aug 2009 03:29

Is it possible to specify the location of the vlcrc file on the command line for vlc? I have two configuration files, one for standard viewing and one that routes audio and video through specific interfaces so that the media is played through my media system. I'd like to set up a shortcut that starts VLC with this second config file so I don't have to fiddle around with settings to switch between the PC and TV modes.

I'm using VLC 1.0.1 in Vista x64.

Thanks.
