The VideoLAN Forums

I was introduced by Remi Denis-Courmont to the text command vlc://Pause:20 to create a pause between two videos in a playlist. There are probably other commands like this. Are they listed anywhere? For instance is there a command to change aspect ratio?

There's vlc://pause (VLC >= 1.2), vlc://pause:XXX, vlc://quit to quit the player and vlc://nop as a place holder. That's all as far as fake playlist items go.

Too bad. I was hoping to be able to set the aspect ratio individually for each video in the playlist.

you may be able to pass it in an an XSPF parameter.

How do you pass it as a xspf parameter?
