Setting custom title when opening VLC from command line

Tags:

stream

vlc

rtmp

I start VLC from a java program to play rtmp streams. I would like to set the window title to something like "stream-1" instead of the rtmp url since it doesn't tell me anything about the content.

I'm currently using this to start the stream in VLC

vlc.exe -vvv "rtmp url"

Is there some way to set the title from command line?

Found the answer from https://github.com/bastimeyer/livestreamer-twitch-gui/wiki/Player-configuration#videolan-client

The option I was looking for was --meta-title
