<pre><code> Hello, the only way I know is from the QT UI, in advanced
preferences, go to your module page. Your option should be populated
via your ChooseConnector callback.
Is there is no way to do that from command line, maybe we should add
one, no ?</code></pre>

<p>If you by “command line” refer to interfaces, such as <code>modules/gui/ncurses.c</code> or <code>share/lua/intf/*</code>, that runs in a terminal, I agree with you, but I am not sure that we would like to add support for such interaction in any other places than those (and of course other interface implementations).</p>
<p>Perhaps one could add a diagnostic for modules that support such change of values, that is printed on use, stating that there are options to select. Though, isn’t it already possible to get the list of entities by looking at the output associated with <code>-H</code> and the module in question?</p>
<p>I am all for increasing the usability of the current interfaces, but adding support in the core for reading from the shell where the instance of vlc was spawned, if any, sounds like the wrong path to walk.</p>
