The VideoLAN Forums

Hope fully someone can help me here.

I'm trying to play a video strected across 2 monitors but initiated via the commandline. If I change VCLs preferences, I can make it work but not directly from the command line. Here is the command I'm using.

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --wall-cols=2 --wall-rows=1 --wall-element-aspect=16:10 -f --no-osd --no-video-title-show --mouse-hide-timeout=0 --play-and-exit c:\wow\open-wide-ppt.mpg

When I run this command, the video plays fine, except it's only on the primary monitor.

Can anyone help with this?

Try adding

Thank you!

We upgraded to windows 7 and changed command to:

"C:\Program Files (86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --vout-filter=wall --wall-cols=2 --wall-rows=1 --wall-element-aspect=16:10 -f --no-osd --no-video-title-show --mouse-hide-timeout=0 --play-and-exit c:\wow\open-wide-ppt.mpg

Now the 2 video wall windows play only on display 1 (on top of each other) instead of one on each display.

Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

Did you try with dummy UI?

Changed command to

"C:\Program Files (86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --intf dummy --vout-filter=wall --wall-cols=2 --wall-rows=1 --wall-element-aspect=16:10 -f --no-osd --no-video-title-show --mouse-hide-timeout=0 --play-and-exit c:\wow\open-wide-ppt.mpg

Still same problem but received this message:

[03a573c4] video_filter_wrapper video output error: Opening video splitter wrapper for wall

I should also mention that this is on a win 7 pro 64-bit system

I got it to show both screens but for some reason it swaped the screens. Putting C1R1 on the seconday screen and C2R1 on the Primary.

I tried a number of things to fix this without anny luck.

I then reverted back to VLC version 1.0.03 (the current version when I first opened this thread) and it worked with the original command line. Not sure what is going on. Should I post this as a bug report?

works fine all the way to 1.0.5 but breaks starting 1.1.0

You can open trac ticket for this. (I can also do that if you want)

Could you please open the ticket" I opened one but it was closed with a response that didn't seem to address the issue I am experiencing. I have a feeling that i didn't explain the problem correctly.

Thanks!

You should open it as feature request ticket.
