Commandline and video wall UNSOLVED

[mheadroom]

Hope fully someone can help me here.

I'm trying to play a video strected across 2 monitors but initiated via the commandline. If I change VCLs preferences, I can make it work but not directly from the command line. Here is the command I'm using.

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --wall-cols=2 --wall-rows=1 --wall-element-aspect=16:10 -f --no-osd --no-video-title-show --mouse-hide-timeout=0 --play-and-exit c:\wow\open-wide-ppt.mpg

When I run this command, the video plays fine, except it's only on the primary monitor.

Can anyone help with this?

Try adding

Code: Select all

--vout-filter=wall

Thank you!

We upgraded to windows 7 and changed command to:

"C:\Program Files (86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --vout-filter=wall --wall-cols=2 --wall-rows=1 --wall-element-aspect=16:10 -f --no-osd --no-video-title-show --mouse-hide-timeout=0 --play-and-exit c:\wow\open-wide-ppt.mpg

Now the 2 video wall windows play only on display 1 (on top of each other) instead of one on each display.

Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

Did you try with dummy UI?

Changed command to

"C:\Program Files (86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --intf dummy --vout-filter=wall --wall-cols=2 --wall-rows=1 --wall-element-aspect=16:10 -f --no-osd --no-video-title-show --mouse-hide-timeout=0 --play-and-exit c:\wow\open-wide-ppt.mpg

Still same problem but received this message:

[03a573c4] video_filter_wrapper video output error: Opening video splitter wrapper for wall

I should also mention that this is on a win 7 pro 64-bit system

I got it to show both screens but for some reason it swaped the screens. Putting C1R1 on the seconday screen and C2R1 on the Primary.

I tried a number of things to fix this without anny luck.

I then reverted back to VLC version 1.0.03 (the current version when I first opened this thread) and it worked with the original command line. Not sure what is going on. Should I post this as a bug report?

works fine all the way to 1.0.5 but breaks starting 1.1.0

You can open trac ticket for this. (I can also do that if you want)

[mheadroom]

Could you please open the ticket" I opened one but it was closed with a response that didn't seem to address the issue I am experiencing. I have a feeling that i didn't explain the problem correctly.

Thanks!

You should open it as feature request ticket.
