Hi,

Is there any chance to force libVLC to dynamically change cropping offset. And I don't mean geometry as it keeps ratio (it crops left and right side in my example).
I need to move cropping area of a certain size, from the left side of a very wide movie (bigger then a screen) to the right and have an effect of camera move.
Is this possible?

Thanks,
Maciej

try this, if this is the right documentation for the latest release there is a huge chance this might work.

libvlc_video_set_crop_geometry

psz_geometry new crop filter geometry (NULL to unset)

also content for psz_geometry is not documented but I think I a little bird told me it was WidthxHeight+Left+Top. Note the weird x and the + between the numbers.

Thanks,

I've already tried this and yes - it works. However you need to add to the 'Width' the same value you add to the 'Left'. If you don't, it will crop your movie from both sides (left and right). That way it looks that you need a really wide video. As I am software developer I need to wait for video guys to prepare me some samples and then I'll check.
