Cannot get streaming filters to work
Posted: 21 May 2008 10:47
Dear all,
I have tried to use new subfilters in vlc 0.8.6f on Linux (SuSe 10.3), but I cannot get any of the filters to display anything, the screen looks exactly the same as without the filter.
Specifically, the line:
vlc --sub-filter=marq --marq-marquee="Obvious Watermark" --marq-position=0 --marq-size=50 --marq-opacity=25 --marq-color=32768 somevideo.asf
(as per instructions http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Modules/marq )
does not produce any markings on the screen.
I tried mpeg4 encoded asf file, live mpeg4 rtsp stream, and live mjpeg stream.
Old style (video) filters seem to work perfectly.
What could be wrong? I fiddled with settings and preferences a lot, but no result. Are, by any chance, subfilters ment to be used only for transcoding and not for live output?
