Video Wall

[ddalton]

I am trying do a video wall of 1x3 42 inch monitors on windows 7 (64) with a Radeon HD7660G, whenever I put 1 row 3 columns, I get one window instead of three, I am using VLC 2.2.1

should I be doing this with the image video wall filter or Panoramix video wall?

I think that's a bug. I have this problem with versions 2.0.8, 2.1.5 and 2.2.1.
When setting the Panoramix video filter the VLC crashes.

What versions work?

Not a version can in wall-mode display a row with three columns.

Is there a way to display on three monitors connected to the same computer on unattended kiosk, I was able to get around vlc's video wall (which only works if you place the windows manually) by using Eyefinity from amd, but now they arent doing portrait mode in the latest version.

I'll add a CMD-Script for 64-Bit Version to try out different Options or Commands.
The Script start three Videos on x/y-Coordinate and close at the End of the Video the VLC-Player.
You can Replace the Video with a Playlist.
Edit the Script in the Notepad-Editor and save it as *.bat File.

Code: Select all

@echo off start "" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" D:\Video\Video2.mp4 --no-video-deco --no-embedded-video --no-audio --video-on-top --video-x=1 --video-y=1 --zoom=0.84375 --qt-start-minimized --no-video-title-show --no-repeat vlc://quit start "" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" D:\Video\Video4.mp4 --no-video-deco --no-embedded-video --no-audio --video-on-top --video-x=1 --video-y=608 --zoom=0.84375 --qt-start-minimized --no-video-title-show --no-repeat vlc://quit start "" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" D:\Video\Video6.mp4 --no-video-deco --no-embedded-video --no-audio --video-on-top --video-x=1 --video-y=1216 --zoom=0.84375 --qt-start-minimized --no-video-title-show --no-repeat vlc://quit

It is possible to change some commands.
Have a Look in the Command-Line-Help.

These are all the same video so in this scenario I would have to chop the video up? is there a better way to do this?

I'm not shure, if I understand You right.

The Script-Example use 3 different Video's, each in an other x/y-Position on the Screen.

This is the same Example, but with horizontal Video Orientation.

Code: Select all

@echo off start "" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" D:\Video\Video2.mp4 --no-video-deco --no-embedded-video --no-audio --video-on-top --video-y=1 --video-x=1 --zoom=0.84375 --qt-start-minimized --no-video-title-show --no-repeat vlc://quit start "" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" D:\Video\Video4.mp4 --no-video-deco --no-embedded-video --no-audio --video-on-top --video-y=1 --video-x=608 --zoom=0.84375 --qt-start-minimized --no-video-title-show --no-repeat vlc://quit start "" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" D:\Video\Video6.mp4 --no-video-deco --no-embedded-video --no-audio --video-on-top --video-y=1 --video-x=1216 --zoom=0.84375 --qt-start-minimized --no-video-title-show --no-repeat vlc://quit

I have one video that I want to display on three screens as one contiguous screen, not three different videos, I cannot seem to make this work with Vic
