The VideoLAN Forums

I downloaded version 29-Apr-2022 32bit and also 64bit and in both the OpenGl error continues and in this version now --video-x and --video-y don't work, I can put any value in --video- x and --video-y that nothing happens.

The .bat file was created this way even with the two lines in it, it may even be my lite version of windows 7 but until version 3.0.17 it works normally on this windows and only gives this problem now in version 4.0.0 Beta.

This way also did not work and gave this error now.

I am using windows 7 and i have d3dcompiler_47.dll

How should I export QT_OPENGL=software

Thanks for the clarifications.

I searched a lot and didn't find a way to put OpenGl 2.0 on my board so I think it doesn't support it, but regardless of that I would like to know if there is a way to disable the use of OpenGl in VLC?

I managed to solve it using --fullscreen on the two monitors that will show the videos, but anyway video-x=0 and --video-y=0 don't work in version 4.0.0 Beta and it would be nice if you could fix it.

If you guys can't solve the position issue in version 4.0.0 Beta then I'll use --video-x=1 --video-y=1 which works with 1 pixel away.

sorry for the confusion, In version 3.0.17 the window does not resize using --width and --height and in version 3.0.17 the window doesn't resize using --width and --height and in version 4.0.0 Beta --video-x=0 and --video-y=0 don't work.

Unfortunately the problem will not be fixed according to Rémi Denis' answer

This is a known issue in the video output core for 3.0 and it won't be fixed

My motherboard doesn't support OpenGl 2.0 and I always get error when I run VLC 4.0.0 Beta, how can I disable the use of OpenGL?

@Lotesdelere I managed to create the ticket in VLC Trac and I posted the link to this topic as you guided
https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/26873

@Lotesdelere I couldn't post there but my problem was partially solved in version 4.0.0 Beta but in this version there is still an error Error Description: --video-x and --video-y only work correctly if I put a value greater than zero if I put --video-x=0 --video-y=0 doesn't work correctly https://t...

When I run VLC and try to determine the size and position of the video window only the position commands work but window size doesn't work, does anyone know how to solve this? Example of commands using a .bat file vlc.exe --width=1024 --height=768 --video-x=100 --video-y=100 Test.mp4 Note: In versio...

Really this is a forum with many questions and few answers.

You can close this topic because I already saw that I won't get an answer to my problem which is a shame because VLC has many resources but without support it is impossible to use it.

Now there are 488 views and still no answer that solves the problem or that at least tells me that it is not possible to create and control more than one instance in windows because the only one I received so far was for LINUX that I will not use.

In vlc I will only be able to create more than one instance and send commands to each one of them if I am using LINUX, for windows is it not possible to do this? Can anyone answer this simple question?

477 views and no answer that solves my problem

So far I haven't had a definitive answer to my question regardless of the method I'm going to use, my question is this: Is it possible to create more than one instance in WINDOWS and then send commands to each one separately? If possible with which command do I create these instances and how do I id...

Apparently it's a limitation of VLC that only lets you create more than one instance and send commands to them in LINUX, for windows if I decide to use it it will have to be the way I discovered by renaming executables and opening a console for each of them.

Does anyone here on the forum have enough knowledge to answer my question?

@Cyan I agree with you on everything you said but I also don't blame the developers as they are volunteers and shouldn't have free time to answer everyone.

Just answer me please if it is possible to create and control more than one instance only on linux, on windows is it possible to create and control only one instance at a time?
Isn't there commands for windows to create and identify more than one instance?

It's not a limitation for me as long as there are commands in vlc to do this and I know what commands they are because I don't know what commands create the instances in windows and what commands should I pass to each instance, what I need is just to know the line command to create instances and how...

I see that unfortunately I won't be able to use VLC in my project because I've searched in every way in the VLC forum and documentation and I can't find an answer to this simple question.
