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 !

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.
