Hi, Actually, with respect to this transparency issue, two functions are at stake : /// Draw another graphics on this one virtual void drawGraphics( const OSGraphics &rGraphics, int xSrc = 0, int ySrc = 0, int xDest = 0, int yDest = 0, int width = -1, int height = -1 ) = 0; /// Render a bitmap o...

You're right about images not being displayed properly when coming from a network. Actually, the "fake" access module is needed to create a fake video out of a single image. And duration is set through the --fake-duration option (either a number of seconds or -1 for infinite time, default ...

However I noted that the zoom doesn't work when "resize interface to video size" is not enabled However a zoom function is still usefull. When option "no resize to video size" is used, what should "zoom" mean ? Zoom x times with regard to the original video size or Zoo...

In vlc1.0, one dialog box is still far too large (height) for my 1024x768 screen on Ubuntu 7.10. This dialog box is "Toolbars Editor" that you get from the "Customize interface ..." item menu. I can hardly read "Profile" at the bottom of the screen.

Also after viewing any video at a really small window size like the given 95x95 the VLC window seems to revert back to what appears to be its smallest size setting (I think 200x200) - try it. I would like the window not to do this as like SM Player. So support for remembering ultra small window siz...

Weird indeed, right click works for me with vlc 1.0.0 (skins mode) and fullscreen (both WinXP and Ubuntu).

As for volume, whether you use skins mode or qt4 mode, it should behave the same way. (but, I have not checked)

- Problem 1 : it was a bug that is fixed with latest vlc1.0
- Problem 2 : Is this specific to skinned vlc ?

Erwan10

yes, --quiet can remove the window associated with verbosity, but there is still the video window that should not be shown when fullscreen is asked right from the beginning at launch time.

Erwan10

In my opinion, Point 1 and 4 should be eligible as a bug. Even "vlc -I dummy -f .... vlc://quit" shows a fleeting intermediate window before switching to fullscreen. Point 2 and 3 are only partially fixed in vlc 1.0. It works because both avis have got the same height, width and chroma. Ot...

Media_list_player never worked. (an unfinished work!) Actually, it would be nice to know what the status and plans are for libvlc and family (JVLC, ... ). (Help, vlc team !) On one side, everything related to playlist is said deprecated and on the other side, what is meant as a replacement seems to ...

You can do something along the line: => vlc --extraintf rc --rc-host="localhost:9999" --sub-filter=marq@my_marq ..... and in a shell script #!/bin/bash nc localhost 9999 <<EOF @my_marq marq-marquee $1 logout EOF You should also try "vlc -H" and the rc help which give the comprehe...

I would like the OSD Marquee to be changeable on-the-fly. I don't want to stop the video, edit the Marquee line, and start it back up again. Is this possible? Changing OSD marquee or logo on the fly is possible with the rc interface. This can also be integrated into a shell/batch script for easier ...

Cosmetics = cleaning up the code to make it good-looking I tested colibri 2. Works fine both on Ubuntu7.10 and WinXP. patch has been sent on the mailing list. It just needs some more time for review and fixing some remaining bugs. If you are in a hurry and are used to compiling your own vlc, you can...

I've got something working that solves problems of video not keeping inside video tags when changing themes or layouts.
Just needs a bit of cosmetics and I will post it on the mailing list (probably over the weekend)

I'm afraid the audio part of vlc is not yet designed to support multiple concurrent playbacks and monitor them independently. (even the latest vlc from git)

To be more precise, ... As of today, vout recycle is back in v1.0 and features what used to be available in v0.8.x YET, there is still a stringent restriction, namely items within a playlist must have the same width, height and chroma . The likelihood that you don't meet those prerequisites is high....

beware of multiple instances of libvlc ! They are not independent.

A new libvlc instance overwrites options passed to a previous one. In the case of vmem, some of these options are pointers to functions So you can very easily end up with a crash.

Yes, multiple libvlc instances are a big issue with their options being overwritten. Yet, they are not as useless as I wrote since they can solve other problems. Multiple media_players within a single libvlc instance is a real mess for hotkeys and audio. At least multiple instances solve some (not a...

In your code, dvb-frequency seems wrong to me (you need to add three more 0). Here are the options I use for DVB-T in France : #EXTINF:0,TF1 #EXTVLCOPT:meta-title=TF1 #EXTVLCOPT:meta-description=TF1 (freq=562 MHz, prg=1537) #EXTVLCOPT:dvb-frequency=562000000 #EXTVLCOPT:dvb-adapter=0 #EXTVLCOPT:dvb-b...

1) I have 1 instance of vlc (libvlc_new) and multiple media players all playing different udp streams. The video title that pops up and then disappears is the same for all videos - other than creating multiples vlc instances (i.e. one libvlc_new per media player), can the titles be different? you c...

Just one thing, media_player is usable right now even with asx files. Media_player is designed so that playing a playlist (asx, m3u; dir://) means parsing it and populating a subitem(media_list) (even if the playlist is limited to one item). It is then up to the developer to __explicitly__ select an...

Your problem is similar to the one described on the forum at http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=54259 playlists (.asx, .m3u, dir://, ... ) are never automatically played when libvlc API is used (JVLC is based on libvlc API if I am not mistaken) If it were in C/C++ with libvlc, (I sup...

yes, the way you do it works.
Media item can be released early in the process, because media_player keeps a reference anyway.

I wish I knew ..... But, I'm afraid these problems have not come up as top priorities and they don't seem to be much talked about for the vlc1.0.0 release.

libvlc is a promising API, .... but when it comes to playing multiple videos concurrently, some work still needs to be done. case one: - You create 1 single libvlc instance (libvlc_new) and multiple medias/media_players. It works perfectly except for the following: - hotkeys are all mixed up (hotkey...
