This is bringing back nightmare memories of the old dos days :-0 On reflection I think I'll change my requirements somewhat. I was trying to set up a bat file to prompt me for the station I wanted to stream, run a vlc command line with the relevant perameters then close down as it's job is done. This is obviously not as simple as you would think. I'm thinking this would be a useful add on to the VLC GUI; an option to save a stream setup and re-run it from within the GUI. Is that a reasonable suggestion and should I submit it as a feature request on the VLC forum? I may look at a java solution to this but in the meantime at least I can create a bat file for each station I want to stream, run the relevant one and close it manualy once the VLC window has come up and the stream is running. I'm going off the idea of not having a VLC window open as it would make it harder to close the stream down if I want to change stations. Although I guess I could put a vlc -quit as the first line of each bat file to kill any instances running first. Or I could go and buy an old tranny radio for each room ;-) Oh the halcion days of listening to pirate radio on an old crackly mono tranny with a single earpiece under the bedcovers :-)
Many thanks for all your help bpa, it has been invaluable.
