hidden away is a lua function - vlc.playlist.move() I assumed this was all I needed to re-order a playlist, but it's broken. If I move the playlist around too much with this function, it eventually crashes, as described in this bug report from over 4 years ago: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/1...

If I run the following LUA script in VLC I'd expect to print 1 to 10: for i = 1,10 do vlc.volume.set(vlc.volume.get()+1) print(vlc.volume.get()) print(" ") end However, this is my result: 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 On another occasion, I get a different result: 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 If I wait for a...

Let's say my volume is set to 100% (256 in status.xml) If I do the following to set it to 200%: http://127.0.0.1:9090/requests/status.xml?command=volume&512 The status I receive back however doesn't reflect the changes, although the player has updated the volume to 200%, status.xml still says 10...

I can find nowhere in the documentation how to move an existing playlist item in the playlist order. I can do everything else it seems, but mysteriously this simple command appears to be missing... How do I change the order of one or more playlist items in a single command? EDIT: I found all the com...

In all the documentation I can find nothing about these 2 settings, or how to set them outside of the GUI.

Any idea how to control these somewhat more bespoke settings via the RC interface? (or any interface that isn't the GUI for that matter)

After a bit more testing I realised my above solution didn't work for files with different frame rates, so here's this: vlc -vv 1.mp4 input.mkv --sout "#transcode{vcodec=H264,venc{profile=veryfast,level=40},vfilter=canvas{width=1280,height=720,aspect=16:9},width=1280,height=720,fps=25,vb=1000,a...

Hooray! I think I've finally got this working. Here's what I'm doing now: vlc playlist.m3u vlc://quit --sout "#std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=-}" --ignore-config | ffmpeg -i - -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -crf 20 -c:a aac -b:a 160k -ac 2 -ar 44100 -profile:v main -level:v 4.0 -f flv out.mkv ...

Ok, looking at the log closely I've noticed this line cropping up whenever it goes wrong: [00000240478fc6d0] main mux error: cannot add a new stream (unsupported while muxing to this format). You can try increasing sout-mux-caching value And this tends to appear when a file of different dimensions t...

1: Here's a log for when I tried encoding a playlist of videos, all exported from Adobe Media Encoder so presumably 'good' video files: [url]https://gist.github.com/hedgehog90/af4c69c464efff33cda0e7972ffa0c77[/url] (The command I used is first 3 lines of gist) 2: I haven't consulted Task Manager. My...

Thanks for replying. Your last command works a lot better than mine. I've incorporated into it my transcode settings: "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --no-repeat --no-loop --no-lua playlist.m3u vlc://quit --sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x264{profile=main,level=30,keyint=25,min-k...

No matter what I try, I can't get VLC (3.0.8 64bit) to output a decent video file. I have 2 clips, both exactly 5 seconds long, I'm just trying to merge them together as an experiment. Ultimately I want to output directly to a rtmp stream, but in testing I'm simply muxing it into a file to see if it...

I'm not sure if this a bug per se or just a certain way of doing things, all I know is - with regards to graphics-based subtitles - Kodi and VLC do things differently and I think Kodi handles it better. VobSub or PGS (graphics-based) subtitles have video dimensions encoded into them. Most people who...
