-option A single letter version of a global --option.
:option An option that only applies to the playlistitem directly before it
and that overrides previous settings.
Playlistitem MRL syntax:
[[access][/demux]://]URL[@[title][:chapter][-[title][:chapter]]] [:option=value ...]
Many of the global --options can also be used as MRL specific :options.
Multiple :option=value pairs can be specified.
URL syntax:
[file://]filename Plain media file
http://ip:port/file HTTP URL
ftp://ip:port/file FTP URL
mms://ip:port/file MMS URL
screen:// Screen capture

Set the method used by libdvdcss for key decryption.
title: decrypted title key is guessed from the encrypted sectors of the
stream. Thus it should work with a file as well as the DVD device. But it sometimes takes much time to decrypt a title key and may
even fail. With this method, the key is only checked at the beginning of each title, so it won't work if the key changes in the
middle of a title.
disc: the disc key is first cracked, then all title keys can be decrypted instantly, which allows us to check
them often.
key: the same as "disc" if you don't have a file with player keys at compilation time. If you do, the decryption of the
disc key will be faster with this method. It is the one that was used by libcss.
The default method is: key.

Sets the initial buffer occupancy as a fraction of the buffer size.
--sout-x264-keyint <integer>
Sets maximum interval between IDR-frames
Larger values save bits, thus improve quality for a given bitrate, at the cost of seeking precision.
--sout-x264-keyint-min <integer>
Sets minimum interval between IDR-frames
In H.264, I-Frames do not necessarily bound a closed GOP because it is allowable for a P-frame to be predicted from more frames
than just the one frame before it (also see frameref). Therefore, I-frames are not necessarily seekable. IDR-Frames restrict
subsequent P-frames from referring to any frame prior to the IDR-Frame.
If scenecuts appear within this interval, they are still
encoded as I-frames, but do not start a new GOP. Default value is keyint * 0.4.
--sout-x264-bframes <integer>
B frames
Number of consecutive B-Frames between I and P-frames.
--sout-x264-bpyramid, --no-sout-x264-bpyramid
B pyramid (default disabled)
Allows B-frames to be used as references for predicting other frames. (default disabled)
--sout-x264-frameref <integer>
Number of previous frames used as predictors.
This is effective in Anime, but seems to make little difference in live-action source material. Some decoders are unable to deal
with large frameref values.
--sout-x264-scenecut <integer>
Scene-cut detection.
Controls how aggressively to insert extra I-frames. With small values of scenecut, the codec often has to force an I-frame when it
would exceed keyint. Good values of scenecut may find a better location for the I-frame. Large values use more I-frames than
necessary, thus wasting bits. -1 disables scene-cut detection, so I-frames are be inserted only every other keyint frames, which
probably leads to ugly encoding artifacts.
--sout-x264-subpel <integer>
Sub-pixel refinement quality.
This parameter controls quality versus speed tradeoffs involved in the motion estimation decision process (lower = quicker and
higher = better quality).
--sout-x264-me {,dia,hex,umh,esa}
Motion estimation algorithm.
Selects the motion estimation algorithm: - dia: diamond search, radius 1 (fast)
- hex: hexagonal search, radius 2
- umh: uneven
multi-hexagon search (better but slower)
- esa: exhaustive search (extremely slow, primarily for testing)
--sout-x264-merange <integer>
Motion estimation search range.
Maximum distance to search for motion estimation, measured from predicted position(s). Default of 16 is good for most footage, high
motion sequences may benefit from settings between 24-32.
--sout-x264-no-psnr, --no-sout-x264-no-psnr
Disable PSNR calculation. (default disabled)
This has no effect on actual encoding quality, it just prevents the stats from being calculated (for speed). (default disabled)
--sout-x264-weightb, --no-sout-x264-weightb
Weighted prediction for B-frames. (default disabled)
Weighted prediction for B-frames. (default disabled)

disabled)

Positive values cause more B-frames, negative values cause less B-frames.

Decide references on a per partition basis. (default disabled)

Code: Select all
vlc --deinterlace-mode blend http://interlaced.streaming.source/I believe you are correct it works locally but there is no client option. The same is true of crop.I might be missing something here, but I can't get most of those cli parameters to work...
I run VLC (0.8.4 a - winXP) with this command:
and there is no deinterlacing.Code: Select all
vlc --deinterlace-mode blend http://interlaced.streaming.source/
I might chose it from menu, and this works, but not as a CLI option
(The source is a dreambox DVB-s receiver)

Unfortunately that isn't possible. Sorry.Might there be a way of assigning a hotkey to activate filters? More specifically, I like to toggle through the de-interlacing options with my remote, but for that to work you need a hotkey that can trigger that, right? Or is there another way? Play, pause, forward and all other standard hotkeys work fine with the remote
Very thanks for geo.
Thanks for all, i hope this is the right post to ask this.
