who uses wall feature?

Postby v1rtu0s1ty » 03 Jan 2007 22:49

I would like to know who uses wall feature and is not seeing any playback issue such as tearing, slow refresh rate.

If not, please let me know what os, kernel, video card, driver you are using.

Thanks.

Wall?

Postby tqft » 04 Jan 2007 11:17

I assume you mean by wall option having the video as wallpaper?

I can't even see the option.

Linux Ubuntu 2.6.15.7-ubuntu1, onboard video for Asus P5LD2-VM m/b

The wallpaper option can be found under Settings> Preferences> Video> Filters> then click wall video filter...

Good Luck let me know if you get it working !!!

Found the wall option is working fine here. Hmm new toy.

But the other option I can't find for linux is where you can have the desktop wallpaper as the movie being played. I know it is there for Windows. Don't know about Mac.

AFAIK, it only exists on windows when using the DirectX video output.

issues streaming a video over a wall

Postby CarlO_321 » 23 Apr 2007 17:59

Hi,
I am trying to stream a video, split over 4 PCs, each driving a tile of the wall, but
a) While locally it works, on the nodes I am not able to get it split, but just the full video replicated on every node. Here are my commands:
vlc -vvv VTS_01_1.VOB --vout=Direct3D --vout-filter=wall --wall-cols=2 --wall-rows=2 --wall-active --intf=dummy --filter=deinterlace --deinterlace-mode=linear --sout=udp:10.1.1.1
By the way, for a wall is it preferable/possible multicast or a repeated unicast?
b) the deinterlace-mode is not actived.
Any suggestion is most welcome: thank you very much for the assistance,
Best regards,
Carlo

--wall-active takes as argument a comma separated list of the video which should be displayed ( from 1 to 4 in your case)
And don't stream and display with the same VLC.

I would have 1 vlc streamming in multicast
1 vlc displaying and being the netsync master
3 vlc displaying and being netsync slave.

It's better to use the netsync extraintf to make sure the video play in sync

hth,
