Is it possible to display multiple marquees or logos at the same time?

If it were to be done with the basic vlc program, the answer is yes

something along this line works very fine:

vlc --sub-filter "marq{marquee=Text1,x=10,y=10}:marq{marquee=Text2,x=500,y=500}:marq{marquee=Text3,position=10}"

In other words, you can chain as many filters as you like (separated by the colon character), and tune them independently by expressing their specific parameters within the curly brackets. Of course, it also works fine with different filters (mixing marquees, logos, .... )

As for libvlc, I don't know, but likelihood is that it should also work.

Thanks for the answer, I' m actually coding against the dll files using .net I've figured a number of things out which it seems like I should share given the insane lack of info/docs for using .net for this. I actually went the directx route since I'm trying to do nice pretty ui responses to things like volume change and showing where you are at when you hit pause, etc.
