how do i run commands with rtl_433 in windows terminal?

[virxually]

rtl_433.exe opens and runs fine in a cmd window, but i cant type any commands, i am specifically trying to switch to a different frequency

The program is not interactive, all instructions need to be given as arguments. E.g. rtl_433 -f 868M

The HTTP UI might be better to browse bands. Add the option -F http then open http://127.0.0.1:8433/

To get a view of all transmission on a band now click "Modes" "Raw (all)".

thanks for the reply, how do I find WEB-UI? run it etc etc.. using win 7, is there a page that shows step by step how to set this up?

For the Web-UI open http://127.0.0.1:8433/ in a browser

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8433 this is what I get..

Somebody else wants to walk @virxually through this please?

to run a command you have to open windows command prompt, then type "cd (rtl_433 folder directory, not rtl_433.exe)"
example: "cd C:\Users\(name)\Downloads\(rtl_433 folder)"
if inputted correctly, the command prompt header should change to your rtl_433 folder directory
then type "rtl_433 (command(s))" and enter, rtl_433 will then start running with the variables you added.
(to be fair, @zuckschwerdt could have done a better job at explaining this) ^

running the -F http command would look like this:
(directory)>rtl_433 -F http
press enter and rtl_433 should successfully launch
when it does, go to http://127.0.0.1:8433/
if you haven't already, try clicking the hyperlink above, you might be typing something wrong.
i am also on Firefox, and that IP works fine for me when doing -F http.
you might be on an older version of rtl_433, if not then I'm sorry I can't really tell you what your issue is.
