Resizing and Moving from RC interface

Postby sama » 22 Aug 2006 17:18

Hi There

I have seen another thread about this, but it's quite old and sadly it didnt' get any responses so I'm trying to stir a little interest :)

I'm using Java to access VLC via the RC interface. So far, it works great. I'm launching vlc using switches that render it completely hidden, and only display a video (or play music) when invoked from the RC interface.

The only method I currently have of changing the size of the video, or moving it around, is to shut down the currently open vlc instance, and reopen it using the --height, --width, --video-x and --video-y

I'd like the user to drag and resize a java window, which has the video on top, and for the video content to be moved and resized accordingly, either in realtime, or slightly lagged.

Is it impossible to do this via the RC interface?

It's not possible to do with the RC interface. Unless you extend it of course, but personnally, i think that thing is bloated already.

Have you looked at jvlc ? I haven't worked with it at all, but i think it might suit you better.
Don't use PMs for support questions.

hey thanks.

I had a quick read through, but it's not as multiplatform as I'd like it to be, and so I prefered the rc version.

I guess I'll use the RC interface until (if) I exuahst it, and perhaps switch to jvlc.

cheers.
