Crop output of camera stream not working

Postby jockyw2001 » 06 Jan 2024 13:19

With VLC on Windows I can crop the display of a RTSP camera stream using for example --crop=16:9
On Android I thought I could pass this option in the Custom libVLC options (crop=16:9),but it doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong or is cropping not supported on Android?

BR, JockyW

After playing with various options I found that these options on Android in custom libVLC options:
fullscreen, aspect-ratio=center
is giving me the required results which correspond to following command line options on Windows:
--fullscreen --crop=5:4

More consistency between the various platforms would have been wishful, but I'm glad the problem is solved anyways :)

None of the above works on Samsung Galaxy. Useful info, though.

I recall a complaint here that the screen gesture on VLC for Android only switches between two screen-fitting options and is not a generalized zoom. I don't believe VLC 3 for Android offers crop or zoom. OP was talking about VLC for Windows. Developers may say whether it's scheduled for VLC 4 for Android.

I Second this: VLC 3.5 doesn't crop at all (much needed).
