VLC-0.9.0 window position

Postby mau2000.sim » 14 Feb 2008 16:33

I'm building an application using VLC-0.9.0, from svn, and I need to launch several instances of VLC, but VLC windows always open at the same position.
I'm using VLC with the video embedded in the interface, and I saw that in this case the configurations --video-x and --video-y don't allow to change window position.
I tried with --wx-config-last but it seems to work only In VLC 0.8.6.

Is there anyone who can suggest me a way to change window position on vlc 0.9.0 ?

thanks

M.

Need more details to answer...
Are you using the interface ? Are you just using the video windows ?

I'm using the vlc interface.
To be more precise I'm using Whiteout.vlt skin but the behaviour is the same also with the default skin.

VLC version: OVER 9000!!!
Operating System: It's...blue screen

You'll probably have to detach the video window from the interface (Preferences -> Video -> disable 'imbed video to interface' or whatever it's called).

I've disabled embedded video from Preferences but I had no result: VLC-0.9.0 interface window still opens at the same position.
I've tried either with --video-x --video-y and with --wx-config-last, and also with both like in the examples below:

vlc --wx-config-last="(-1,0,0,1280,1024)(10,10,10,10,10)(6,0,0,-1,150)"
vlc --video-x=10 --video-y=30
vlc --wx-config-last="(-1,0,0,1280,1024)(10,10,10,10,10)(6,0,0,-1,150)" --video-x=10 --video-y=30

I've tried to tune the numeric values but every time the interface opens in the same position.

Any idea or suggestion ?

Thanks

wx doesn't affect 0.9.0

Something that I just noticed is that you're using a skin and the option to detach the video window is located in a different place: Preferences -> (tab) Interfaces -> Skins -> Detach video from interface. I'm not exactly sure if this is the absolute correct path because I'm not in front of a computer at the moment.

I didn't find any "Detach video from interface", or similar things, in Preferences ->Interfaces -> Skins, nor in Preferences ->Interfaces ->QT, nor in any other page ....
Has this setting been introduced recently ? I'm using vlc 0.9.0 rev.23415 compiled on Linux.

It should be in the simple preferences.
