Today I wanted to open asap 4 RTSP streams using VLC.
I ended up copying and pasting the following in the command prompt caused 4 background instances of VLC to appear and read from 4 different AXIS cameras.


"C:Program Files (x86)VideoLANVLCvlc.exe" -vvv "rtsp://username:password@IP_ADDRESS:PORT/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&resolution=768x576&compression=30&fps=10&textstring=cam1&text=1&textpos=1"&

"C:Program Files (x86)VideoLANVLCvlc.exe" -vvv "rtsp://username:password@IP_ADDRESS:PORT/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&resolution=768x576&compression=30&fps=10&textstring=cam2&text=2&textpos=1"&

"C:Program Files (x86)VideoLANVLCvlc.exe" -vvv "rtsp://username:password@IP_ADDRESS:PORT/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&resolution=768x576&compression=30&fps=10&textstring=cam3&text=3&textpos=1"&

"C:Program Files (x86)VideoLANVLCvlc.exe" -vvv "rtsp://username:password@IP_ADDRESS:PORT/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&resolution=768x576&compression=30&fps=10&textstring=cam4&text=4&textpos=1"&
