Thank you soloviola71 thank you

Hmmm.. maybe.
Try installing this:

It will download Powershell 2.0 for Windows Vista (your operating system).
After the installation, your pc should have no problems to recognize it wink

In case you still have problems, no worries. Powershell command could be easily replaced. It basically allows to extract the first line from a text file. But there are surely many other alternative ways to do that wink

With this code vlc stream starts and only "event-title" appears on the bottom part (no event description though !)

I took a look at epg5.txt and actually it had egp info (1st row) and event description (taken from the 3rd row of epg4.txt using "get-content epg4.txt -totalcount 3| Select-Object -Last 1") just below.

Where am i wrong ?

You can't take the description event from epg4.txt because it had been previously filtered by DEFSTR to display only the series of title events.

You'll need to call again DEFSTR to filter and display the event description.

But things are a little more complicated because the event description is usually a very long string and needs to be handled with a few more functions...

So I have re-written the code, which now works fine.
Event title + event description will appear on the top of VLC screen:

Code
wget -q -O - "http://XX.XXX.XXX.XX/web/epgservice?sRef=[stream address]" >> epg.txt
type epg.txt | FINDSTR "e2eventtitle" >>epg2.txt
type epg.txt | FINDSTR "e2eventdescriptionextended" >>info.txt
type epg2.txt | cut -d "<" -f 2 >>epg3.txt
type epg3.txt | cut -d ">" -f 2 >>epg4.txt
type info.txt | cut -d "<" -f 2 >>info2.txt
type info2.txt | cut -d ">" -f 2 >>info3.txt
powershell -command "& {get-content epg4.txt -totalcount 1}" >>epg5.txt
powershell -command "& {get-content info3.txt -totalcount 1}" >>info4.txt
set /p EPG=<epg5.txt
set /p INFO=<info4.txt
set a=0

:Sub
set /a b=%a%+1
set /a a=%b%
more +%b% info4.txt >>piece.txt
set /p ADD=<piece.txt
call :filesize "piece.txt"
:filesize
set size=%~z1
if "%size%"=="0" del piece.txt & goto END
set INFON=%INFO%%ADD%
set INFO=%INFON%
del piece.txt
goto Sub

:END
call %VLCA% --sub-filter marq --marq-marquee="%EPG% - %INFO%" --marq-size=20 --marq-position=4 --marq-timeout=30000 --fullscreen --aspect-ratio=16:9 "http://XX.XXX.XXX.XX:8001/[stream address]"
del epg*.txt
del info*.txt
if exist piece.txt del piece.txt
exit

Enjoy!

In your code you wrote for example "powershell -command" or "call %VLCA%" ; i had no success in running the bat script with this type of "language" !
To make it work I had instead to specify the folder :
I mean "call C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" instead of "powershell -command" and "call C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" instead of "call %VLCA%" ! Why ?

Do you know if is there any similar thing in dos language so i can get

%EPG%
%INFO%

on the screen ?

However thanks for your advices you gave me so far !
