Hello,

is there a way to display more than one marquee lines?

you could try putting a line feed in your marq text.

Thanks for your reply, but that was the first ive tried

I took a look into the source, the marq text variable is a string and i dont
noticed a linefeed check. What a pity - otherwise this plugin would be a very easy way to set up an text based osd.

Is the author of this plugin still active? Mark Moriarty. Maybe he can give me some hints how to adapt the code.

Hm, i think i have to install a c++ compiler

marq.c

Code: Select all

#include <string.h>
.
.
.

    p_sys->i_xoff = var_CreateGetInteger( p_input->p_libvlc , "marq-x" );
    p_sys->i_yoff = var_CreateGetInteger( p_input->p_libvlc , "marq-y" );
    p_sys->i_timeout = var_CreateGetInteger( p_input->p_libvlc , "marq-timeout" );
    p_sys->i_pos = var_CreateGetInteger( p_input->p_libvlc , "marq-position" );
    p_sys->psz_marquee =  var_CreateGetString( p_input->p_libvlc, "marq-marquee" );
    p_sys->p_style->i_font_alpha = 255 - var_CreateGetInteger( p_input->p_libvlc , "marq-opacity" );
    p_sys->p_style->i_font_color = var_CreateGetInteger( p_input->p_libvlc , "marq-color" );
    p_sys->p_style->i_font_size  = var_CreateGetInteger( p_input->p_libvlc , "marq-size" );

It works command line (on linux at least):

Code: Select all

22:36 dionoea@cellerier ~% vlc --sub-filter marq --marq-marquee "test
123" /mnt/stuff/media/redefined-nintendo.mpg

I doubt that it will if you're doing it through the rc interface.

hm, thats right :-/

commandline works, at least via shellexecute

Code: Select all

--sub-filter marq --marq-marquee Marquee_Line_#1'+#10+'Marquee_Line_#2'+#10+'Marquee_Line_#3'

But it dont work via the rc-interface, the text is cut off behind the first control character - no matter if i send #10, ^j or 0x0A.

Any idea ?

Well we could change the marquee filter a bit to replace \n or something like that with a line feed. (But that wouldn't help if you're using a stable version.)

I've just had some fun with the marq filter. It now supports the following format strings:

Code: Select all

      --marq-marquee <string>    Text
          Marquee text to display. (Available format
          strings: Time related: %Y = year, %m = month,
          %d = day, %H = hour, %M = minute, %S =
          second, ... Meta data related: $a = artist,
          $b = album, $c = copyright, $d = description,
          $e = encoded by, $g = genre, $l = language,
          $n = track num, $p = now playing, $r =
          rating, $t = title, $u = url, $A = date, $D =
          duration, $F = full name with path, $L = time
          left, $N = name, $P = publisher, $T = time,
          $_ = new line)

This is available in the developement version. Nightly builds can be downloaded here: http://nightlies.videolan.org . Tell me if you need anything else,

I changed loads of other marq related stuff in the meanwhile ... which means that the remote control interface marq commands don't work anymore

I'll have to fix them.

Posted: **01 Oct 2006 20:49**

allright, would be cool if u post a reply here after the rc is fixed.

But no stress, iam patient.

something new about the remote control interface marq commands? They are still broken.
