Loop takes all the cpu

[merik]

Hi

The code below work fine except that it takes 80 - 100% of the cpu on a P4 3.3Ghz machine. It seems to be in a tight loop reloading the static jpg. as --loop would indicate

So is there a way of limiting the loop frequency.

Code: Select all

vlc c:\castle.jpg --intf="dummy" --dummy-quiet --loop

Thanks for some great software, I have only really started scratching the surface. Well done.

VLC is not designed to view jpg images. Thoug it can do that, and it can do it better in the next version even, this is not something that we really support.

you should try the next version with something like :

Code: Select all

vlc fake: :fake-file image.jpg

The next version? I just downloaded the lasted nightly and typed:

Code: Select all

vlc --longhelp --advanced

No mention of that option. Do you mean a future version
Does this imply that you might be able to use the fake interface to show a random slideshow from a directory of images between video footage?


Thanks for all your help

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv fake: :fake-file=c:\castle.jpg
