"Puzzle game" works fine from windows interface (adjustment and effects->video effects->geometry->puzzle game)

but not when launching from command line
c:\....\vlc.exe --puzzle-mode=0 C:\...\test.mp4

tested on ver 2.2.2 and ver 3.0.8
tested windows 7 and windows 10 (1909)

Checked forum and google searched no one using command line for this feature?

--video-filter puzzle ??

Thanks Remi... ADD --video-filter=puzzle FIRST then add the rest of the parameters.

Example:
c:\.....\vlc.exe c:\....mp4 --video-filter=puzzle --puzzle-mode=# --puzzle-rows=#
