Variables in CLI Entry

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us regarding this,

Could you confirm that you're able to achieve this with the command line terminal outside of RDM ?

Best regards,

Yes, can confirm that launching vlc from a cmd prompt using these arguments absolutely works.

Hello,

Understood, I will try testing this internally and get back to you with my results.

We believe it's likely due to the variable, however we want to confirm if the issue is with how the argument is written or the Arguments field itself not resolving the variable.

Best regards,

Hi Zachary,

Think you've nailed it, the arguments field doesn't resolve the $NAME$ variable. I can add the below line into the 'Run' field:

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" % vlc http://wz2scamonitor.scahw.com.au/live/$NAME$_128.stream/playlist.m3u8 --quiet --no-qt-error-dialogs

And this wil resolve the name into the URL in the place I need it.

Although not as clean as placing the arguments in the arguments field as Devolutions have clearly intended it, that's an acceptable workaround.

Thanks,

Hello,

I'm glad to read you have a workaround, our engineers have opened a ticket to add support for variables in the arguments field of the CLI entry.

I'll update you once rhe improvement is released.

Best regards,

Hello,
