Changing LOGO on the fly

[xj]

Hello,
I am trying to find some solution how to change LOGO in the corner on the fly... ( I can not kill vlc and then start it again with different preferences)

Could anybody help me?

Thank you

you can do that using the rc (remote control) interface. (see doc for how to enable the rc interface)

That's not possible with the 0.8.1 release. It was implemented some days ago in the current development source, is therefore included in the current nightly builds and will be shipped with the next stable release. You can change that through the RC-interface now (which can be used both for local and remote control).

Cool.

Have to add that -- I don't have logo-file in RC yet, just the position and transparency controls. It'll be in in a day or so.

Edit -- just enabled it, should be in the next nightly.
usage from rc:
logo-file the_path_and_filename

for example:
logo-file myfile.png
for myfile.png in the main vlc directory
logo-file png files\afile.png
for afile.png in the subdirectory "png files"
(if using Linux, you would use a / instead of \, I believe)
