VLC 4 Command Line Resize and Reposition Help
Posted: 11 Oct 2024 21:29
Hi Team,
I have an LED video scoreboard on a football field that I'm being asked to leverage for an outside movie night. The sign is from ImpactLED, and it has a weird quirk in that it uses 840x390, but it carves that resolution out of the input signal. I can send it 1920x1080 as a secondary display via HDMI, but it crops out the upper left 840x390. As a result, I can't use fullscreen, so I am trying to specify both the video size and the video position on the command line. With the latest VLC4 nightly, I was able to specify the size using --width and --height along with --no-video-deco and -no-embedded-video, but I cant' seem to get it to position on the screen where I want it. I believe it should be positioned at 1920,0 in order to place it in the upper left corner of the second display. How can I add video position to the mix? I have tried --video-x and --video-y but they don't seem to affect anything. The windows that pop when I use the switches I have so far seem to do the standard 'cascade down and right' routine. TIA.
