multiple playlist entries each with a marquee unique marquee
Posted: 10 Oct 2005 16:48
Hi,
Using version 0.8.4 kernel 2.6.13 on an FC3 based machine, I have been trying to get a playlist together to allow me to have a text string channel name overlayed on a v4l tuner card based TV stream. I can make this happen from the command line as follows:
This shows the channel stream and overlays the string TESTDATA in the bottom right hand corner.
Now the issue I have is that when I try to use a playlist of these channels the marquee data is not accepted as part of an playlist item specification. So...
... is an extract with two different items:
Item 0 will play and will have a marquee but it is the default and is not updated with the "PBS" data.
Item 1 will do the same and the marpuee string is still in teh top left.
Appending the marq-marquee on to the playlist item directly does not seem to work either.
I hope this is clear. Anything other info you might like I will do my best to supply.
Any help in getting this functionality to work would be very much appriciated.
Cheers
