The VideoLAN Forums

Hi all,

I am launching multiple instances of VLC in a BATCH file.
I set up some options about the sound or the size.

But to automate the process completely, I would like to specify the place of each VLC window when opening VLC.

At the moment, all windows are opening exactly at the same place in the screen.

Any idea
Thanks

Hopefully 0.9.0 as the wxWidgets interface gives way to QT4.

But the skins 2 module can be positioned now.

If you are using VLC with the video not embedded in the interface, you can use --video-x and --video-y.

Otherwise, if you want to position the interface (not just the video), you can use --wx-config-last, which contains the position of the different panels of the interface (for instance, --wx-config-last="(-1,0,0,1280,1024)(0,220,220,355,94)(6,0,0,-1,150)"). I must admit this is a bit more complicated

If you are using VLC with the video not embedded in the interface

How can I do that ?

I am just launching VLC from a batch file like:
start vlc "myfile"

Thanks

If you don't need the interface (I mean, you just want the video), you can use "vlc --intf=dummy".

However, if you do need the interface, use "vlc --no-embedded-video".
