VLC 2.2.2 realtime updating logo?

[cotix]

Hi,

I'm using vlc to stream some files, and I use --logo-file to draw a logo on top of the stream. Works great. However I want to change the logo mid stream. After extensive googling I found people saying you can do this over telnet or in the rc interface with various commands. However noone of these work, I even tried oldrc.. The commands simply dont seem to exist, and after checking the longhelp, I dont see any commands that relate to it.

Is it possible to update the logo real time?

Thanks

Hello, any solution for this? I need the same thing.

AFAIK, you can only change the logo-file value of the logo filter at run-time using the GUI. Even then it is and always was flaky.

Hello Remi,

could you specify your approach of changing the logo filter at run-time using the GUI.

I found this old wiki page https://wiki.videolan.org/How_to_add_a_logo/ were the dynamically logo change is discribed.

vlc -I rc --logo-file nonexistent_dummy.png --sout "#transcode{vcodec=...,vb=...,sfilter=logo}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{...}}"

# Once the program has started
add video.avi
# If using VLC 0.8.6 or older:
logo-file logo.png
# If using VLC 0.9.0 or newer (see NEWS for details about the new syntax):
@logo logo-file logo.png

However this doesn't work under the latest version of VLC.

Would be nice if you can explain your approach.
Thank.

Like every other video filters, from the Effects panel.
