I am trying to use the capture device where it uses a mouse pointer image. VLC version 2.0.2. Windows 7 64 bit.
I open the capture device as follows through the GUI:
- Media --> open capture device
- Capture Mode --> Desktop
- click show more options
- edit options
- my options looks like this:
" :screen-fps=10.000000 :live-caching=300 :screen-mouse-image=c:\Users\trevsmit\Desktop\mousePointer.png"
NOTE, the path to the mousePointer.png is correct. I copy and pasted instead of typing manually.
When I look at VLC log messages by pressing ctrl-M and upping logger to debug level. I get the following:
screen debug: Using c:\Users\trevsmit\Desktop\mousePointer.png for the mouse pointer image
main debug: creating access 'c:\Users\trevsmit\Desktop\mousePointer.png' location='', path='(null)'
main debug: looking for access module: 0 candidates
main debug: no access module matched "c:\Users\trevsmit\Desktop\mousePointer.png"
main debug: TIMER module_need() : 0.083 ms - Total 0.083 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 0.083 ms)
qt4 debug: IM: Deleting the input
main error: no suitable access module for `c:\Users\trevsmit\Desktop\mousePointer.png'
main debug: could not open c:\Users\trevsmit\Desktop\mousePointer.png for reading
screen error: Failed to open mouse pointer image (c:\Users\trevsmit\Desktop\mousePointer.png)
NOTE, I added the bold emphasis.
I checked permissions and the file has rwx for all users. so i don't think permissions is an issue.
How do you get the mouse pointer to capture in Desktop screen capture mode?
