Marquee No Longer Works in 2.1.0
Posted: 07 Nov 2013 17:30
I had previously gotten Marquee working in 2.0.x as described below.
Thread: Tip: How to Marquee in Python (and pitfalls)
But as of 2.1.0, nothing appears when the Python binding tries to show text (re-downloaded vlc.py on 2013-11-06).
Raising the instance's verbosity to 10 yielded no obvious error messages when loading a video.
No messages coincided with attempts to show text.
The lua code I had stopped working as well (modified lua/intf/cli.lua).
This is ineffective too (I have "media title on video" disabled in prefs).
But this works (with args similar to what failed in Python).

Code: Select all
osd_channel = -1
...
--[[ Setup default environment ]]
env = { prompt = "> ";
width = 70;
autocompletion = 1;
autoalias = 1;
welcome = _("Command Line Interface initialized. Type 'help' for help.");
osd_duration = 6;
}
...
function osd_message(name,client,message)
local input = vlc.object.input()
if not input or not vlc.object.vout() then return end
-- Registration requires a video input.
-- But apparently no need to re-register each new input.
if osd_channel == -1 then
osd_channel = vlc.osd.channel_register()
end
message = string.gsub(message, "\\n", "\n")
vlc.osd.message(message, osd_channel, "bottom", client.env.osd_duration*1000000)
end
...
commands_ordered = {
{ "osd_msg"; { func = osd_message; args = "[message]"; help = "show OSD message" } };
...
}
This is ineffective too (I have "media title on video" disabled in prefs).
