Passing '--vout=gl' to self.Instance resulst in error

Postby quadbit » 25 Sep 2023 19:25

Greetings,
I'm testing VLC for on RAspberry PI for a small museum and noticed that various movies did not play smooth using the 'default' configuration. I did some testing with other Output options (Menu, Tools, Preferences, Video, Output, "MMALx1 splitter for Raspberry PI" or "OpenGL Video output"'. Those "various movies" play way better then. But, my configuration is for a museum with Touch Screens, without keyboard, without mouse. The visitors can click on a selection of icons for a movie and my application (python) instantiates VLC using the python-vlc library. So I added parameters to "vlc.Instance(['--play-and-exit ','--vout=gl']) (or --vout=mmal_xsplitter).

No luck however, those "various movies" still doe not play smooth and in a terminal window I see errors like:
"main filter error: failed to create video converter"

Suggestions on how to preceed are welcome,

With Regards, quadbit.

That splitter module is not part of VLC, but some custom addition of rPI OS so you probably won't get help here.
