The VideoLAN Forums

Hello All,

I cannot find the answer in the forums, I'm streaming a dreambox (DVB-S) signal to a VLC client on a Windows XP workstation. This VLC converst it to a smaller stream which can go over the internet to my WiFi enabled PDA.

Now on this PDA is a Beta version of VLC runnig, and i cannot find a way to rotate the stream 90 degrees (so Landscape mode, full screen). Does anybody know how to do that?

Using:
Qtek 9100 with Windows Mobile 5 and a Omap processor
VLC media player 0.8.5-svn-20060214-0130 WinCE interface

I'm having Sound and Video, only the video is a small size instead of full screen and rotated...

Hope someone has a idea to help me!

Best Regards Tom from Holland.

I'm not familiar with the WinCE interface, but within the standard Windows version there is command in Preferences, Video, Filters, Transformation that allows you to rotate the video. Once you have it set, you also need to turn it on in the main filters section. If this feature is missing in the WinCE version you may be able to rotate the video before it is sent. I'm sure this can also be done via the command line.

The Syntax appears to be: --transform-type {90,180,270,hflip,vflip}

Hello DJ,

I've read in some other thread that the " --transform-type {90,180,270,hflip,vflip} " is only available when the output is the monitor/screen.

When the output is a stream you cannot use the --transform option...

If you or anybody else has any idea how to do it? The option isn;t available in the WINCE port of the VLX.exe code.

Best Regards Tom

I wouldn't be so sure that is true. The transform is a filter like crop that can be inserted before transcode. So it may take the form of: --vout-filter <string> (Video filter module) or --access-filter <string> (Access filter module) or most likely --sout-transcode-vfilter <string> (Video filter)
