The VideoLAN Forums

I'm building an application using VLC-0.9.0, from svn, and I need to launch several instances of VLC, but VLC windows always open at the same position.
I'm using VLC with the video embedded in the interface, and I saw that in this case the configurations --video-x and --video-y don't allow to change window position.
I tried with --wx-config-last but it seems to work only In VLC 0.8.6.

Is there anyone who can suggest me a way to change window position on vlc 0.9.0 ?

thanks

Need more details to answer...
Are you using the interface ? Are you just using the video windows ?

I'm using the vlc interface.
To be more precise I'm using Whiteout.vlt skin but the behaviour is the same also with the default skin.

You'll probably have to detach the video window from the interface (Preferences -> Video -> disable 'imbed video to interface' or whatever it's called).

I've disabled embedded video from Preferences but I had no result: VLC-0.9.0 interface window still opens at the same position.
I've tried either with --video-x --video-y and with --wx-config-last, and also with both like in the examples below:

vlc --wx-config-last="(-1,0,0,1280,1024)(10,10,10,10,10)(6,0,0,-1,150)"
vlc --video-x=10 --video-y=30
vlc --wx-config-last="(-1,0,0,1280,1024)(10,10,10,10,10)(6,0,0,-1,150)" --video-x=10 --video-y=30

I've tried to tune the numeric values but every time the interface opens in the same position.

Any idea or suggestion ?

Thanks

wx doesn't affect 0.9.0

Something that I just noticed is that you're using a skin and the option to detach the video window is located in a different place: Preferences -> (tab) Interfaces -> Skins -> Detach video from interface. I'm not exactly sure if this is the absolute correct path because I'm not in front of a computer at the moment.

I didn't find any "Detach video from interface", or similar things, in Preferences ->Interfaces -> Skins, nor in Preferences ->Interfaces ->QT, nor in any other page ....
Has this setting been introduced recently ? I'm using vlc 0.9.0 rev.23415 compiled on Linux.

It should be in the simple preferences.
