The VideoLAN Forums

I'm loading the old RCA test pattern image before I load other videos on the page, but it defaults to 10 seconds. I can't get access to the config object to change it, but even if I could... I wouldn't have a chance to clean up after myself so until the user went in and manually fixed it it'd be stuck at whatever I set it to.

Are there any tricks here that I can't figure out?

There is a preference for that.

Jean-Baptiste,

I have the php page I'm pointing VLC at continue to tell it to load the image for however long I want it displayed... and it doesn't even seem to stop playing, loading it again instantly. Do you know whether it caches the image, or is it doing a http get every time? Other than the possibility that it's transferring the same 130kbyte image every 10 seconds, I like this solution best, I think.

VLC caches the image. You can set the duration, per item, too.
