Create video mosaic using telnet remote control

[bzuidgeest]

I have created a video mosaic with vlc using the following config file for vlc (cmd vlc --vlm-conf c:\mosaic2.vlm.conf)

Code: Select all

new cam1 broadcast enabled setup cam1 input rtsp://@10.190.9.55/img/media.sav setup cam1 output #duplicate{dst="mosaic-bridge{id=1,width=640,height=480}"} new cam2 broadcast enabled setup cam2 input "K:\stream\sd\Tros Radar\20081027 2025 - NED1 - Radar - Ziggo.ts" setup cam2 output #duplicate{dst="mosaic-bridge{id=2,width=640,height=480}"} #setup cam2 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=2,width=640,height=480},select=video,dst=bridge-out{id=2},select=audio} new cam3 broadcast enabled setup cam3 input "K:\stream\hd\Bon Jovi\2-Someday-Ill-Be-Saturday-Night.ts" #setup cam3 output #duplicate{dst="mosaic-bridge{id=3,width=640,height=480}"} setup cam3 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=3,width=640,height=480},select=video,dst=bridge-out{id=3},select=audio} new cam4 broadcast enabled setup cam4 input "K:\stream\hd\Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday Concert\Mandela 90th Birthday Concert - Queen + Finale.mpg" setup cam4 output #duplicate{dst="mosaic-bridge{id=4,width=640,height=480}"} #setup cam4 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=4,width=640,height=480},select=video,dst=bridge-out{id=4},select=audio} new mosaic broadcast enabled setup mosaic input fake:// setup mosaic option mosaic-width=1280 setup mosaic option mosaic-height=960 setup mosaic option mosaic-rows=2 setup mosaic option mosaic-cols=2 setup mosaic option mosaic-position=1 setup mosaic option mosaic-order=1,2,3,4 setup mosaic option mosaic-keep-picture setup mosaic option fake-file="c:\sb.png" setup mosaic option fake-caching=50 setup mosaic option fake-width=1280 setup mosaic option fake-height=960 setup mosaic option fake-fps="25" setup mosaic option fake-deinterlace setup mosaic output #transcode{deinterlace,sfilter=mosaic,vcodec=mp4v,vb=10000,acodec=none}:bridge-in{id-offset=100}:display control cam1 play control cam2 play control cam3 play control cam4 play control mosaic play

Now I want to create the same mosaic using the remote control option (sockets/telnet). I can create a telnet session and in the longhelp the mosaic commands are displayed. I cannot find any documentation as to how to use them. Does anyone have any info on this. How does one create the nessecary input?

Any help appreciated.
