Playlist with individual settings for each video file

[misc1979]

Hello,
Is it possible to define a playlist that contains individual settings like cropping and aspect ratio for each video file?
If so, how are the commands?
Thank you.

It should work if you create a .bat file. But isn't exactly a playlist.

How does the bat file looks like?
I have no idea about the syntax. How can I apply individual settings for each file? Do you have an example for me?
I am no savvy
Thank you!

Something like

Code: Select all

vlc.exe c:\my_videos\movie.avi :start-time=10 c:\audios\nice.mp3 :start-time=33

Thank you!
But if I use a batch file, I cannot jump back and ahead like in aplaylist a,d it always starts a new vlc player after i have closed the other one. This solution does not make any sense.

Are there alternatives?

?
There should only one VLC if you code example I provided and the files should play on same playlist.

Hi,
if I use your syntax to change the aspect ratio, it looks this way:

C:\Programme\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe C:\video1.mp4 :aspect-ratio=1:1 C:\video2.mp4 :aspect-ratio=16:9 C:\video3.mp4 :aspect-ratio=4:3

But VLC does not change the aspect ratio for each video! All of them are displayed like the settings of the first video.

What can I do to make VLC change the aspect ratio for each video individually?

Thank you!

Best,
Michael

I didn't find any way for this. It seems that aspect ratio is kept whole runtime. Maybe I should trac this (seems like a bug).

Yes, indeed it would be great if this bug could be removed. I am pretty sure there are many people that miss this feature. Just searching for this in the board brings up several request. Not to mention the many people that do not even ask for that or just did not join the board.

VLC is the best video player I know, so if this functionality would be working it woule be simply perfect.

Thank you for your help! And please, let me know if you have further details about the process of removing this bug.

Best,
Michael

BTW: Another idea would be if VLC could read settings from a seperate config file with the same name as the video file. Then it would play videos automatically in the right way.
