Video filters: Arguments are wordsplit
Posted: 01 Dec 2020 16:54
I have attempted to specify a simple lavfi filtergraph (1 input, 1 output) of the form with the option. VLC split the arguments to the filter into words where was the separator, which it appeared to treat as separate filters.
I thought of several possible reasons for this:
- my shell doing some screwery (immediately ruled out by single-quoting the argument, and VLC split it, not the shell)
- my syntax being wrong, maybe VLC uses other delimiter characters?
- VLC expecting something else to be passed to this.
If any, which of these is the case, and what would be a solution?
Thank you.
