The VideoLAN Forums

I have just start building a simple MFC C++ app that uses the libVLC DLL. I have made my .lib file and with a few mods to vlc includes copied from the full source code I have it compiling and playing a video file.

I have discovered how to turn the full screen opition on but I can't see something which turns off the media title / filename that automaticly displays at the start of playing.

In VLC itself the option to of the title is in the settings "Tools >> Preferences (Ctrl+P) >> Show settings - Simple >> Subtitles & OSD: On Screen Display - [] Show media title on video start"

Is there any documentation other than the include files which to help understand all the function calls in libVLC.dll ?

Using :
MS VC6 & MFC
libVLC 1.1.11

--no-osd or --no-video-title

Hello,

I try in vain to remove the display with osd settings - no-osd and - no-video-title. As you offer in this forum.
I use libvlc.dll in a delphi project, but these settings have no effect on the title of the video when it starts playing.

Do you have any idea?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I think I removed the on screen display in the following way in my C++ code :

First I read a vlc command line string from a file into the C string "vlcArgs.c_str()" then parsed it. The string in my file was "-I;dummy;--plugin-path=C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins;--no-osd"

// Create args list
char **myArgs = new char* [vlcargs];

// Initialise the list
for(int n = 0 ; n < vlcargs ; n++) {
myArgs[n] = NULL ;
}


int myArgc = parseVLCargs(vlcArgs.c_str(), myArgs, vlcargs-1) ;

I then setup the vlc player using this call :

// Run the player app
player_run(myArgc, myArgs, &opts) ;

Where my sub-routine was :

void player_run(int argc, char *args[], PlayerOptions *opts)
{
//libvlc_exception_t excp;
libvlc_instance_t * inst;
libvlc_media_player_t *mp;
libvlc_media_t *m;

// Load the VLC engine
inst = libvlc_new (argc, args);


// Create a new item
m = libvlc_media_new_path (inst, opts->filename);
