Revolunet VLC Plugin - Setting Aspect Ratio for one Movie

[vel_tins]

I am using Revolunet Code for VLC Plugin 1.0.5 and want to set one special Movie/Stream to Aspect-Ratio 16:9.
I know about:

Code: Select all

vlc_controls.options.set("aspect-ratio=16:9");

But this sets it global for all Movies.
I start my Movie as follows:

Code: Select all

<a HREF="#" onClick="vlc_controls.play('http://xx.xx.xx.xx:12345')" <img src="skyy.jpg" width="50" height="50"></a>

and I tried

Code: Select all

<a HREF="#" onClick="vlc_controls.play('http://xx.xx.xx.xx:12345 --aspect-ratio=16:9')"><img src="skyy.jpg" width="50" height="50"></a>

but this doesn't work.
So, how can I add the aspect ratio option?

You could do it through the raw vlc api by using an if function that changes the aspect ratio when that particular item is playing and setting the vlc.video.aspectRatio parameter to "16:9".

Could you be so nice and post an example, so I can understand what you mean?
It's not so easy for a "non Coder"

The problem is, I'm not very familiar with the revolunet code, because I wrote my own control bar for the plugin.


I find revolunet opaque and overly complicated, personally.


The vlc api provides a function that can change the aspect ratio of a video. If you want to change a specific aspect ratio outside of that function, you need to set it in the "vlc.playlist.add(mrl,name,options)" function.

thanks for that i was looking for it

@ vlc_controls.options.set("aspect-ratio=16:9");

[vel_tins]

ok, I tried it without Revolunet Code..

Code: Select all

var vlc=document.getElementById("vlc"); var id=vlc.playlist.add("http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8889/ext;QUALITY=220/17", "--aspect-ratio=16:9"); vlc.playlist.playItem(id);

and

Code: Select all

var id=vlc.playlist.add("http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8889/ext;QUALITY=220/17", ":aspect-ratio=16:9"

and

Code: Select all

var id=vlc.playlist.add("http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8889/ext;QUALITY=220/17", "aspect-ratio=16:9"

The Video plays, but it ignores the aspect-ratio settings..it always shows a 4:3 aspect-ratio

[Ilasir]

You should be using a local option ":aspect-ratio=16:9"I think, as described in the documentation.

[vel_tins]

Yes, I tried the local option, look at my second code snippet.
But option is ignored. Maybe my Plugin-Version, (1.0.5) doesn't support it?
I tried other options (sharpen-sigma=1.0), but also ignored..
EDIT: ok i figured it out..
in this line, "name" is missing:

Code: Select all

var id=vlc.playlist.add("http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8889/ext;QUALITY=220/17", ":aspect-ratio=16:9"

if I change it to:

Code: Select all

var id=vlc.playlist.add("http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8889/ext;QUALITY=220/17", "some name", ":aspect-ratio=16:9"

it works

[Ilasir]

Lol... Can't believe I missed that. Nice catch.
