Hi,

You should be able to change the duration this way with xspf:
and with m3u playlists

Thank you. I need to change my example so that it works as expected: #EXTM3U #EXTINF:0, - Radio Paloma - 100% Deutscher Schlager! #EXTVLCOPT:network-caching=1000 http://pool.radiopaloma.de/RADIOPALOMA.mp3 #EXTINF:0, - Radio Paloma - 100% Deutscher Schlager! #EXTVLCOPT:network-caching=1000 ...

... text before including the hyphen, so that the Title shows just 100% Deutscher Schlager! #EXTM3U #EXTINF:0,Radio Paloma - 100% Deutscher Schlager! #EXTVLCOPT:network-caching=1000 http://pool.radiopaloma.de/RADIOPALOMA.mp3 #EXTINF:0,Radio Paloma - 100% Deutscher Schlager! #EXTVLCOPT:network-caching=1000 ...

... ^__^ And you can go into more detail ... I have collected all the necessary documents.m3u #EXTM3U #EXTINF:60,Change http://192.168.1.254:9999 #EXTVLCOPT:network connection=1000 #EXTVLCOPT:sout=#http{mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=:8181/} #EXTVLCOPT:everything is here #EXTVLCOPT:saut-save http://192.168.1.254:9999 ...

That issue goes back 3 years ago.

Is it being worked on?

Is it being considered?

What seems to be the hold up?

Any plans to add support for the #EXTVLCOPT:start-time tag in m3u files in VLC for Android? Tag seems to work on the Linux version, but doesn't work on Android. Or alternatively, is there a way to tell VLC to skip to a specific spot in the ...

I just caught that there was a reply, thanks. I've had a quick look and it seems from a scan that documentors need to work with Python. If that's the case, then that explains a lot. Programmers and Documentors / Tech Writers are very different beasts. Python goes from "straightforward, this mak...

... playlists containing radio streams that I place in the playlist folder of my Android smartphone to play using vlc. Here is an example: #EXTM3U #EXTVLCOPT:network-caching=1000 #EXTINF:0,ABC Jazz 01 aac http://live-radio01.mediahubaustralia.com/JAZW/aac/ #EXTINF:0,ABC Jazz 02 aac http://live-radio02.mediahubaustralia.com/JAZW/aac/ ...

... instructions. That would indeed be far easier. It's possible to do that remotely if you have a specific feature you want to use through #EXTVLCOPT but it's hard to give a general answer given that there is no such "ready-to-use" documentation for that. I also wonder how it is ...

The majority of people using VLC would more likely not be familiar with CLI. As a professional documenter I have experience with having to physically travel to a programmer's desk and park myself there until I can get a straight answer that will enable me to write user-appropriate instructions. I fi...

Why are you denying the point? Since rattlehead » 2016 Aug Fri 12:58 post there is not one single link, and other links in other threads on the forum are 404. "mederi's examples" is a strange non-specific reference, since there is no link to them. That's rich. The list of options is avail...

... change_safe() This adds a "repeat" option, and because there is a change_safe following, it means that you can use the option in EXTVLCOPT.

In this thread, there are explanations of how to get the list and description of options, and how to put them in a playlist file.

I have no idea what you mean. Your 'answer' does not point to documentation, is there documentation? I have been trying to find the vlc implementation for about 3 years, likely longer. Nor does it point me to where it is documented that one can hide undesired subtitles, or show the desired subtitles...

The format for individual parameters is exactly the same actually. See mederi's examples.

... anyone got a REAL answer to this question. Referring to VLC's command parameters is invalid as the format is manifestly different. I want to use EXTVLCOPT to mean "if you frackin' display English subtitles for frackin' English dialogue I'll frackin' punch a hole in the screen and then chuck ...

So, I have a playlist like this, generated by TorrServer: #EXTM3U #EXTINF:0,AnimeEpisode.mkv #EXTVLCOPT:input-slave=http://127.0.0.1:8090/stream/AnimeEpisode.srt?link=<hash>&index=2&play# http://127.0.0.1:8090/stream/AnimeEpisode.mkv?link=<hash>&index=1&play ...

... I have to reconfigure the input device capture each time I want to stream my sound card. The content of the saved .m3u file is: #EXTM3U #EXTVLCOPT:sout=#transcode{acodec="mp3 ",ab=""}:standard{mux=ts,access=http,dst="localhost:8090"} avaudiocapture://BlackHole2ch_UID ...

This is an issue already tracked here: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/22214

Sorry for the inconvenience.

... doesn't. For some reason the VLC version available on the FireStick does not recognize or at least does not utilize the start-time and stop-time EXTVLCOPT commands. For example, the following code in the M3U file should play the entire film in two sections, skipping the seconds between 247 and ...
