What are the valid settings for --dshow-chroma ?

Postby steelsnake » 25 Mar 2008 06:33

Quite a few versions ago, my trusty TV playlist stopped working. The reason is that I need to switch to RGB (24 or 32 doesn't seem to matter). Funny enough, this works fine from within the settings screen. Tell it to use RV32 or RV24 (like the example in the tooltip) and it works. Same from the command line, it works.

But from the playlist it seems to entirely ignore the dshow-chroma setting. Why? Plus, where can I find a list of all valid chroma settings? The command line help has nothing but the --dshow-chroma flag (without any examples), Googling for it didn't help either.

Here's the playlist, the bold part is new - but ignored by VLC:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,LIVE TV
#EXTVLCOPT:dshow-tuner-channel=2
#EXTVLCOPT:dshow-chroma="RV24"
#EXTVLCOPT:sout=#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=768,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=mmsh,mux=ts,url=:1234}};
dshow:// :dshow-vdev="Hauppauge WinTV Capture" :dshow-adev="Creative SB Audigy LS" :dshow-size="" :no-dshow-config :no-dshow-tuner :file-caching=300

Thanks for any help.

For followers:

https://wiki.videolan.org/Chroma/ lists them, apparently.

Also make sure to check if it's not a "setting disallowed by security" or what not: https://wiki.videolan.org/XSPF#Unsafe_operations
