Hello!
I'm hoping to reduce (or better yet, eliminate) the black screen that appears when switching in between files. To be clear, I'm not seeking true gapless playback, just playback with less of a visible gap in between files (it ruins the pepper's ghost illusion that we've created).
Previous forum posts have suggested --sout-keep. However, this option appears to be for streaming only (and seems to have no effect). Playback of DVDs in VLC does seem to work "gaplessly" when switching between chapters, which seems to indicate that this playback is possible in theory.
Context: I'm using vlc.py to control an instance of VLC and switch between local video files. For my convenience, I manually feed the files to VLC (rather than using a playlist). Would using a playlist help? Or perhaps recoding the videos in a different format (currently h264/mp4)?
Thanks for any help or direction you can provide,
Patton
