How can I use the logo module?

[tjuwangli]

I find that vlc has a module named logo. Is it add logo to the ts stream? How can I use it? I try a command such as "vlc --logo_file 1.bmp test.ts", but it just play the ts stream without any logo. Please help me.

you need to use --filter logo as well. And it only adds the logo to the displayed video so it doesn't work while streaming.

Excuse me, I don't realize the meaning of

adds the logo to the displayed video

. Is it add the logo(.bmp) to the video when it is displayed? But it don't add the logo into the stream, do it? But when i displayed a ts stream use the command "vlc --logo_file 1.bmp test.ts", there is no logo that i can see. Please give me a example. Thank you .

I said you have to use --filter logo as well.
eksample:
vlc --logo-file 1.png --filter logo 2.ts

Note that the logo-file file has to be a 8 bit indexed png.

As newbie I'm trying to add a program logo to my gentoo vlc player version 0.8.1-r1 the point is, doesn't show a logo.

I hope this gives some info:
skinkie@eshara ~/Shrek 2 DVD rip $ xview /home/skinkie/programmalogo.png
/home/skinkie/programmalogo.png is 61x52 PNG image, color type PALETTE, 8 bit
Using PseudoColor visual
Compressing colormap...237 unique colors
Using private colormap
Building XImage...done
skinkie@eshara ~/Shrek 2 DVD rip $ vlc --logo-file=/home/skinkie/programmalogo.png --logo-x=10 --logo-y=10 Shrek\ 2\ DVD\ rip.avi
VLC media player 0.8.2 Janus
Remote control interface initialized, `h' for help
quit
quit: returned 0 (no error)
[00000210] main playlist: stopping playback


Another question, will it (in the near future) be possible to overlay an alpha transparent logo?

Skinkie, of course you want to also use:

--filter logo

[zcot]

do this if you want to test it. do exactly this... -this is nice.

1. copy `cone_plus.png' from the `http' folder(or from share/http) into the vlc root.

2. use this command:

Code: Select all

vlc --filter logo --logo-file cone_plus.png mediafile.*
