video-x & video-y command line not working?

[chris-dk]

Hi There

I am trying to start two instances of VLC from a bat file,-as I have two streams in IP port 1234 & 1235, I do not want them to overlap so looking at http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help there was a syntax for repositioning the window. However the --video-x and --video-y seems not to be working,-has this option been removed?

start vlc udp://@:1234 --qt-display-mode=2 --video-x=100 --video-y=100--width=320 --height=200
start vlc udp://@:1235 --qt-display-mode=2 --video-x=400 --video-y=100 --width=320 --height=200


Using latest version of VLC

[VLC_help]

Disable embedded video.
--no-embedded-video

Thanks for the reply

I added the --no-embedded-video but all windows stay on top of each other..
the .bat file looks like this:

start vlc udp://@1234 --no-embedded-video --qt-display-mode=2 --video-x=100 --video-y=480 --width=320 --height=200
start vlc udp://@1235 --no-embedded-video --qt-display-mode=2 --video-x=200 --video-y=480 --width=320 --height=200
start vlc udp://@1236 --no-embedded-video --qt-display-mode=2 --video-x=300 --video-y=480 --width=320 --height=200
start vlc udp://@1237 --no-embedded-video --qt-display-mode=2 --video-x=400 --video-y=480 --width=320 --height=200

[VLC_help]

Try

Code: Select all

start vlc udp://@1234 --no-embedded-video --video-x=100 --video-y=480 --width=320 --height=200 start vlc udp://@1235 --no-embedded-video --video-x=200 --video-y=480 --width=320 --height=200 start vlc udp://@1236 --no-embedded-video --video-x=300 --video-y=480 --width=320 --height=200 start vlc udp://@1237 --no-embedded-video --video-x=400 --video-y=480 --width=320 --height=200
