Take the tour ×  When I start VLC from cmd how is it possible to
select a camera for a DirectShow source by index (for example I
have camera "A" and camera "B" so I would say 0 for "A" and 1
for "B")?  I do not know the device name, and I do not know the
camera name - only it's index (0, 1...).  share|improve this

is to write or use some external application that can do the
enumeration and mapping for you, then pass in the device name.
Or you could put in a feature request for it...  You can select
the pin number (capture device tab, advanced options)
