Using the commandline
Posted: 26 Oct 2023 16:25
I'm using VLC commandline issued from an Elgato Stream Deck.
I've said in another thread that I'm having trouble getting a commandluine put together to fit as many of the following objectives as possible. I've also said that I don't want telling how to do it...
However, I've reached a saturation point on this, read 100's of threads, seen numerous youtube tutorials, read the book, bought the tee-shirt etc., but I'm spending WAY too much time trying to get this simple thing working .....
I want the Stream Deck commandline to
1. Play a video from my hard drive. (Simple enough, got that part working)
2. Play this video on Display2. (Had that working, but don't know how, because I didn't tell it to)
3. Play Fullscreen on Display2, with no navigation controls at the bottom of the screen etc.
4. Play the video ON-TOP of what was on display2, and ideally I'd like the video to "fade-start" (Not even sure if that is a supported option).
%. reestore the previous Display2 when the video is finished.
ANY help or pointers would be much appreciated, If someone could actually do the commandline for me, I will analyse it and see where I've been going wrong, that would be a great learning experience for me....
I do like to do things for myself, but I'm upa against a time constraint on getting this working, and like I said, I've been going round in circles....
TIA
