The VideoLAN Forums

Hi, this is a user question, I hope this is the right location and ... this is not the nth time this question is asked.

I've added to a playlist several video clips for playback, and I'd like to add a few fixed images between some clips (.jpg ...). When running the playlist, the .jpg's are displayed with a duration of 10 seconds. Is there any way to modify the display time to, like, 4 seconds ? A fixed time for all fixed images in playlist, or a specific time for specific images ? I've looked in Preferences, and in Preferences\Show all, but so far it's eluded me. And I haven't found the way to change the display time in the Playlist screen.

I'm happy to accept that VLC is not meant to be used as a diaporama, or to display a mix of video and fixed images, but if there's a way, it would make me very happy.

In the playlist I don't know, but VLC has a general setting for this purpose:

Menu Tools -> Preferences -> Show settings: ALL
Input/Codecs -> Demuxers -> Image
Then in the right panel you can set the Duration in seconds
Save the preferences then exit and restart VLC for the change to take effect.

Hi,

You should be able to change the duration this way with xspf:
and with m3u playlists

Oui ! Merci !

Can change the duration of the display in Demuxers|Image, for all images.

And unidan's suggestion of editing the m3u allows to define a different time for each image.

Thanks, thanks, thanks.
