Now I understand what you mean ajmas! Thanks for the tip and the example! I will give it a try. Concerning telnet, I can't really tell you why the command 'quit' works for me (under Windows!). Here is the little VBScript I use to telnet to VLC listening on 127.0.0.1:81 <job> <script language="V...

Hi ajmas,

do you mean ssh as -I interface? I will try to find out the ssh way of connecting. I always thought telnet was not to secure... Thanks for the tip!

Ok, found the answer/solution to my problem. Here is my bash script which will start a screen recording and will create a unix socket instead of a telnet connection: #!/bin/bash # Filename parameters TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S) EXT="mp4" # Screen parameters #screen 1 1280 800 #screen ...

Hi guys, I'm trying to start the screen recording feature of VLC media player using the command line under MacOS X (10.11.3, El Capitan) using a bash-script. I have accomplished this using the Windows version of VLC media player (2.0.8) and I'm now trying with VLC media player (2.2.2) under MacOSX. ...

Hi guys, be advise of the following information concerning destop recording and VLC media player: Using my scripts (bat-files) to record my desktop I found out the following: :D Last known version where "everything" that I use on my screen recording (logos, marquee, mouse) works is: 2.0.8 ...

Using my scripts (bat-files) to record my screen I found out the following information: * Last known version where "everything" that I use on my screen recording (logos, marquee, mouse) works is: 2.0.8 * The following versions record but I cannot longer see my mouse pointer: 2.1.0, 2.1.1, ...

Hi, this command line works for me on my system Windows 7 64-bit VLC Media Player 2.0.5: "%VLC%" screen:// -I rc --rc-quiet --rc-host=127.0.0.1:81 -Vdummy --novideo --file-logging --logmode=html --log-verbose=2 --logfile=C:\\Temp\\log.html --logo-file=File:///C:/Temp/logo1.png,5000,128;Fil...

Ok, I figured out how to add the logo and enabling it. I had to import these 2 methods and defined the libvlc_video_logo_option_t enum. I removed the initialization options from the media player, then it worked like a charm: //Enable LibVlc.libvlc_video_set_logo_int(Handle, libvlc_video_logo_option_...

Hello jossuan1983 and Jean-Baptiste, I'm having the same issue. When I use the command line to record my screen to a file, then the logo appears. When I use (almost) the same configuration options using libvlc, the logo does not appear. Jean-Baptiste, what do you mean with " need to load the lo...

Have these configuration options been removed, i.e. deprecated? Warning: option --nommx no longer exists. Warning: option --no3dn no longer exists. Warning: option --nommxext no longer exists. Warning: option --nosse no longer exists. Warning: option --plugin-path no longer exists. I use them on my ...

Hello psyence, have you tried the Options instead of --crop-geometry? --screen-left={1} --screen-top={2} --screen-width={3} --screen-height={4} The values you can get from the window that you want to record. Be aware that VLC can only record on the Screen.Primary, i.e. if you're using dual (or more)...

I forgot to mention my system is Windows 7 64-Bit and VLC Version 2.0.7...

Hello, I'm doing screen recording of automated test (middle of the night) using VLC command line. Here is the string I use to record: screen:// -I rc --rc-quiet --rc-host=127.0.0.1:81 -Vdummy --novideo --nommx --no3dn --nommxext --nosse :screen-fps=5.000000 :screen-mouse-image=File:///C:/temp/mouse....

Here's a video of what my video captures look like showing the cursor (I used a large blue arrow so it's easy to see) shearing. Hopefully, someone will figure this out. http://youtu.be/94br2rO74vA A common denominator *may* be that we that are having this problem are on laptops (I think we both are...

I made a lower resolution How-To video (800x600) to better see the menu items I select during the tutorial:

Best regards,

Thanks for this :) One thing though: IMO the resolution of the video is too large (1920*1080) which is making impossible to read the menu items you are clicking on when it's played on a small screen, for instance a 768 height screen of a laptop. Maybe you should consider to do it again at a much lo...

I ran into the same problem and noticed that you can use the answer by mederi: vlc.exe --screen-mouse-image="file:///C:/mouse.png" However I found out that the quotes around the path didn't work. I had to leave them out on my Window 7 64-bit and VLC 2.0.7. But what happens if the full path...

Ok, I used my own hosted server: 1. Here is the link to the How-To PDF https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35035040/HOW-TO-ScreenRecording_with_VLC.pdf 2. Here is the link to the How-To video https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35035040/How-To_Screen_Recording_VLC_GUI.mp4 BTW, I used the same instru...

I know, me too! Its taking forever to upload those simple files to dropbox... I'm new to this forum, can I upoad here instead?

Hey guys, I made a how-to document and video to see if we are all on the same sheet of music. My system is a Windows 7 64-bit with 16GB RAM and Intel i7 CPU 3.4GHz VLC version 2.0.5. 1. Here is the link to the How-To PDF https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35035040/HOW-TO-ScreenRecording_with_VLC.pd...

Not Media->Open, use Media->Stream

Hey Dand, I'm writing a little howto for the VLC GUI so you can set those values... I'm on my Mac right now so I can't take Windows screenshots... Basically, you have to go to Media->Stream->Capture Device, then on Capture Mode on top select Desktop, change frame rate to 15,00 f/s, check Show more o...

Actually I have done both. The only reason why I sometimes use the installation is that it enters the path of VLC in the registry and I use that on my C# console program to find it (on any machine running my program). Otherwise I get the zip version. But it shouldn't make a difference since VLC has ...

Hi Jean-Baptiste,

Ok, I found the -V<Text> --vout=<Text> parameter on the help file. I tried again with -I rc --rc-quiet --rc-host=127.0.0.1:81 -Vdummy ...
It works like before, I only have to test on our Virtual Machines whether -Vdummy helps. Thank you again!
