Hello everybody,

I'm trying to achieve a picture player with VLC 1.0.5, but without success....
I tested it through the playlist .m3u. It works fine, but all options (like duration ) don't work.
have anybody a solution?

My m3u code is below:

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U 

#m3u-extvlcopt=1

#EXTINF:5,Im 1
#EXTVLCOPT:fake-duration=5000.00 
#EXTVLCOPT:fake-file=C:\te mp\Pb free.jpg 
fake://C:\te mp\Pb free.jpg 

#EXTINF:10,Im 2
#EXTVLCOPT:fake-duration=10000.00 
#EXTVLCOPT:fake-file=C:\temp\AMS-E Wallpaper.jpg
fake://C:\temp\Pb free.jpg

Thanks

Abel

For security reasons, passing options in a playlist is no longer as straightforward as it used to be.

An alternative can be to write a shell script (Linux) or a bat script (Windows32) describing the whole set of images and their specific options (duration, ... ). Something along the lines of
vlc \
fake://file1.png \
--fake-duration 10000 \
fake://file2.png \
--fake-duration 20000
