Hey guys,.. I'm interested in the ROUGH power usage metrics for having a computer run VLC Video 24 hours a day, indefinitely. This is best expressed in approximate 'wattage' / hour for me to determine cost. How much variability is there in older machines vs newer machines in wattage usage (efficienc...

Yes. Has audio delay up - Hotkey k
Audio delay down - hotkey j

Global has nothing.

Any ideas?

Hi, I am using VLC 2.0.8 TwoFlower on Windows 7 x64. Sometime in the last month or so the J and K keys stopped working to change the audio delay during a video. It used to give + or - 50ms increments and show the change on screen. Now when I press the keys it shows nothing, and does nothing? Please ...

Any chance this feature being implemented? I realize this was asked in 2010.. but perhaps there is time to have this added?

Thanks for the help. I'm really lost in the programming language of this. The only problem I have with it, is it crashes. That is why I was suggesting maybe there is like a few lines of code that could be written in 10 mins or so to just have it randomize what I manually put in the lua code. What I ...

Mederi: I've further tested this with short 10 second video's.. and just put 10 of them in the playlist. So I didn't touch any controls.. it still would stop responding after 5-10 videos. ------ Thoughts-- I've taken a good look at the script. Would it make it easier, and perhaps more stable if the ...

Quite simply I would like VLC to have an option (button).. ie: Right click playlist, choose Randomize playlist -- This option would simply randomize the playlist in a true random order, then play the playlist. If the "loop-all" button is pressed, when all the files have been played in the ...

I did. No pressing of the controls of VLC,.. just used time slider a bit to test.. and after several videos.. maybe 8-10 or so videos it locked up VLC (unresponsive).

Any ideas on debugging the code?

Thanks

Not sure exactly what you are referring to -- however I will try to cover all the bases. I am using VLC 2.0.7 Twoflower I am playing files from a playlist,.. 150 videos in the playlist. The files are a mixture of .mp4, .avi etc. The resolutions are anywhere from 576x320 to 1280x720 depending on vide...

I did press the >> Next track button to watch how the randomizer worked.. and after a few clicks of this button it just went to "Program not responding" and locked up VLC. I tested the VLC random,.. and it took 11 rotations of the entire playlist to play some of the files just one time. Th...

Tried out the random script -- and it causes VLC (the latest version) for windows to crash.

Any ideas?

Roger.. So get ID from script.. plug it in.. I assume your instructions meant to also input the total number of files in playlist (This doesn't mean 5 + total actual number I hope). Press start on extension,.. press stop of current file playing -- and the script will run indefinitely from there with...

Here is another attempt: -- "New Random with Loop all.lua" -- VLC Extension first_ID = 6 items = 10 random_order={3,5,8,2,9,4,7,1,10,6} function descriptor() return { title = "New Random with Loop all", capabilities = {"input-listener", "meta-listener"} } end...

Im pretty sure there is plugin tools that can do some of that for you for file duration and file name. I've only seen one for Time,.. and since I've figured out how to use the Marquee Text Overlay to get the Filename and playtime on screen display -- As I replied to my own post with directions for ...

I managed to get a piece of code working well enough with the latest version of VLC. Make sure you have your http server running in VLC (and restart). (The 127.0.0.1:8080) As this pulls from the generated XML file. As for setting up IRC, I am going to assume you have that down. This code works fine ...

I've managed to get a marquee to display some of these attributes using Variables that aren't very intuitive -- in a text overlay. However, many people want this information on their screens in various sizes, in various fonts, in various colors, for various lengths of time, and permanently. So why n...

This feature could be added to all the font sizing,.. but I use Marquee for Text Overlay of the Dynamic Media info of every file being played (IE: Filename/Time/Duration) -- The only option here is to set it by "Pixels" in the Marquee advanced preferences. That sounds great, but the proble...

Is it possible to make the Marquee display relative instead of a X pixels ? I ask because the only way the size of a marquee OSD stays the size you want it is to play only one resolution video. If you play a higher or lower resolution video the marquee, because it is set in pixels, gets much too sma...

For To Long, Didn't Read -- SEE: TL:DR at bottom of post (will save you some time if you don't want to read the mess of text I ended up writing). I'm reading and re-reading your post.. Maybe I'm dense. :) Anyhow -- This is a live stream that never goes offline.. with several hundred viewers at any g...

So you do not need to see the random order. You just need to play playlist items in random order, each item only once, then new randomization after all items were already played. Just better/proper Random with Loop all. Right? Exactly, couldn't have said it better myself. I really appreciate your h...

I don't know how to script in LUA,.. but this seems like a simple task that would just require a randomizer, and tracking of each filename played. I basically need a way so I can put the player on a random and loop all (never-ending) -- where it plays truly randomly BUT never plays the same filename...

Hi, I use my VLC to stream to an audience -- I have about 150 video files in my playlist. I have utilized the Loop ALL and Random buttons,.. but the problem is the "Random" feature just isn't random. It plays alot of the same videos way before it plays them all. Does that make sense? You m...

Update for any who are looking for how to accomplish this with VLC in the future without wrangling with scripts/code. For future reference of others who are looking for the same ability in VLC without the headache I went to: To add Filename + Playtime/Duration anywhere on your video -- go to: Tools ...

Just wanted to update -- I figured out a very easy solution for this in VLC, no scripts/code needed. For future reference of others who are looking for the same ability in VLC without the headache I went to: To add Filename + Playtime/Duration anywhere on your video -- go to: Tools -- Preferences --...

I messed with code, and never got what I wanted. Then I just experimented with built in variables.. and apparently there is a VERY easy solution to the problem. You can display many things -- but for my usage, I wanted filename, current playtime/and duration length of video. For future reference of ...
