How to hide URL when playing a streaming video?

socialjazz · Postby **socialjazz** » 19 May 2009 09:19

Is there any Options I can set to hide the URL from showing at the bottom of the screen whenevery i play an online streaming video?

I am using 0.99 VLC activeX

It should be doable through vlc.playlist.add(URL, name, option) JS call. There are two methods:

1- set a blank name

Code: Select all

vlc.playlist.add(url, " ", options);

2- ask to not show this title

Code: Select all

vlc.playlist.add(url, name, ":no-video-title-show");

The second form looks like nicer, but it will not work with VLC 0.9.9 I think. Should work again in 1.0.0, and even be the default maybe for the ActiveX.

That worked fine (I combined both options so that it was

vlc.playlist.add(url, " ", ":no-video-title-show");

Worked great, thanks for your help!

Thanks and it looks like this is what I want but what am I doing wrong?

Code: Select all

<html>
<head><title>Embedded VLC Player</title></head>

<body>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
myVLC = document.getElementById("vlc");
myVLC.playlist.add(url, " ", ":no-video-title-show");
</script>


<OBJECT classid="clsid:E23FE9C6-778E-49D4-B537-38FCDE4887D8" codebase="c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\axvlc.dll" width="1200" height="900" id="vlc" events="True"> 
<param name="Src" value="udp://@225.220.200.186:54468" /> 
<param name="ShowDisplay" value="false" /> 
<param name="AutoPlay" value="true" /> 
</OBJECT> 

</body>
</html>

No, you actually need to put the url in the .add() call:

myVLC.playlist.add("udp://@225.220.200.186:54468", "", ":no-video-title-show");

and then: src=""
