Windows Service and logo filters

Postby cctvcam » 19 Aug 2010 13:47

I have tried to do streaming using VLC as a windows service with the logo filter without success. I have tried with the --sub-filter and without. Can someone confirm if this is possible with a streaming service and how to do it. I assume only local files work and not file urls.

You need something like --sout-transcode-soverlay if you want to burn subtitles to video and stream it. (I am not 100% sure if it work since it was broken few releases ago)
