The VideoLAN Forums

I have tried to do streaming using VLC as a windows service with the logo filter without success. I have tried with the --sub-filter and without. Can someone confirm if this is possible with a streaming service and how to do it. I assume only local files work and not file urls.

Could you give an example?

C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc.exe -I ntservice --ntservice-install --ntservice-name=VLC-Service --ntservice-extraintf=http --ntservice-options="--no-qt-privacy-ask --no-qt-error-dialogs" --sub-filter "logo{file=ff-logo-small.png,transparency=128}" vlc://quit

the file is in the directory shown on the command line

You need something like --sout-transcode-soverlay if you want to burn subtitles to video and stream it. (I am not 100% sure if it work since it was broken few releases ago)
