Hello,

i've set up VLC from CLI to load a playlist at startup and do some stuff with it (rotate and stuff like that). But i also would like to play the videos slower, like 0.25 or 0.12 from CLI but cant find the right command. At first i thought i just start it like it is and just "slower" it from the GUI, but that just works for the current video in the playlist, as soon as a new video in the playlist starts it jumps back to 1.00 playspeed, which is annoying as some of the videos are just a few seconds long, anyone knows how i can do that from CLI?

TIA

Starting with VLC 1.1, it can be done this way:

vlc --rate 0.25

thanks for your answer.

so, it wasn't even possible before.
is there a timeline when 1.1 should be around?
