Windows Shortcut Target for VLC to show Elgato HD60S Video Stream of PS4 Pro

How to Capture an Elgato Device(or any capture device) in VLC


Make a copy of your normal VLC Shortcut and paste this into it's Target under Properties and customize according to you're system and setup.

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" dshow:// :dshow-vdev="Game Capture HD60 S (Video) (#01)" :dshow-adev="Game Capture HD60 S (Audio) (#01)" :dshow-aspect-ratio="16:9" :dshow-audio-samplerate=48000 :dshow-audio-channels=2 :live-caching=0 :dshow-fps=60

You can find a video of how this works here:

How to use the Elgato HD60S with VLC

Customizing

This was configured for VLC 64 bit on Windows 10.

You're VLC Location(C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe) and Elgato Device Name(Game Capture HD60 S) may be different.

These options are also configured for a PS4 Pro so you may need to tweak your audio sample rate to match the device otherwise you may get audio problems/distortion.

You can find full options for VLC's command line interface and URL Schemes here

Need adjust this :
:dshow-si:dshow-aspect-ratio="16:9" :dshow-fps=60 :dshow-size=1920x1080

If you use windows , open camera app windows 10 and check resolutions supported , to adjust with this parameters.

Call me on telegram If you need @Casantoslopes

Thanks for the suggestion, but :dshow-si: doesn't do anything. If you look at URL Schemes https://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help
