Command Line and resizing with dummy interface

[dhepburn]

I'm running this line command in Windows 7, VLC V2.2:-
vlc --intf=dummy -I dummy --dummy-quiet -q --no-video-deco --no-embedded-video --video-x=1200 --video-y=10 --width=360 --height=76 --play-and-exit --no-autoscale "C:\test.mov"

The idea is it opens just a borderless video and plays it. This video is 1360x768 pixels but what I'm trying to do is to get it to play in a smaller area by using the --width & --height options but all that does is displays just that portion of the video and crops the rest. Taking away --no-autoscale makes it play at the video's resolution of 1360x768 so sounds like I at least need that option kept in there.

How can I get the video to shrink down to the specified sizes while remaining borderless/windowless?

Yes, this is a known bug.

Sorry form the necro post, but I have a solution. You can use the --zoom option to achieve this. For example, to achieve a 1/4 scale window, the OP's command line would be:

Code: Select all

vlc --intf=dummy -I dummy --dummy-quiet -q --no-video-deco --no-embedded-video --video-x=1200 --video-y=10 --zoom=0.25 "C:\test.mov"

Surely too late for the OP, but hopefully it helps someone.
