The VideoLAN Forums

I would like to insert JPG images into my playlists. They are basically title cards that should display for a set period of time.

VLC will display the JPG files, but for nowhere near long enough.

I have tried different examples of fake, but the syntax is bizarre to a non-linux person and I don't know whether I'm
supposed to convert the syntax format or not (documentation says add "")

the current line reads (for example)

../buffy_1992/buffy.jpg
../buffy_1992/buffy_dvdrip.avi

I would imagine in windows that a duration command would be something like:
../buffy_1992/buffy.jpg /d=1000
or depending on sec/ms
../buffy_1992/buffy.jpg /d=15

Can anyone help here or is it an enhancement request?

--run-time=<integer> Run time
The stream will run this duration (in seconds).

might work or not (I am too lazy to test it out).

I tried
../destinationmoon_1950/odeon_destinationmoon.jpg --run-time=35 Run time
../destinationmoon_1950/odeon_destinationmoon.jpg --run-time=35

../destinationmoon_1950/odeon_destinationmoon.jpg --run-time="35" Run time

VLC is unable to open the MRL 'U:\mediaserver_films\0CataloguePlaylists\../destinationmoon_1950/odeon_destinationmoon.jpg --run-time="35" Run time'

I installed the latest version, it seems worse, I dont even get a glimpse of the image.

thanks for trying though.

does that work better from command line?

It doesn't work with 0.9.4 on Windows XP...
