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 !

With the echo command, it is quite easy (for example, you can just insert ^, with the result that the word following ^ will be printed on the new line.

The problem is that VLC commandline options don't support multiline strings. In fact, if you try to insert a multiline string as a parameter, VLC will close without starting streams.

Therefore, I tried to "emulate" a new line string by adding spaces after the epg event (the number of which will change dinamically depending on the characters length of the title event).

Although the string will be still a single line, when displayed on VLC it will look as if formed by two lines:

EVENT: event title
INFO: info title

To get this, feel free to change the subroutine END as it follows:

Code
:END
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

for %%a in (epg5.txt) do set /a length=%%~za
set /a length -=2
set /a SPC=100-%length%
SET "mychar= "
FOR /l %%i IN (2,1,%SPC%) DO CALL set "mychar=%%mychar%%%mychar%"

call %VLC% --sub-filter marq --marq-marquee="EVENT: %EPG%%mychar%INFO: %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

I hope it helps

EVENT: (event description)
INFO: (info description)

but I understand that too many things must be considered (due to vlc lack of multilines display) so even using a dynamic number of spaces the final result is acceptable but not as i expected.

Portugal.
PLEASE

I'll try to see if VLC has any options to handle the text alignment of the marquee, because this would surely fix the issue.
If not, I'm afraid we can't do much for that.
