The VideoLAN Forums

I stream video from tuner's line-in and want to insert some messages as subtitles or logos for a while.

As far as I concern, the branch in settings
Settings->Settings->Video->OSD/Subtitles->Logo Overlay/Text Renderer/Marquee is for overlaying on client's side.
Setting these on server doesn't affect stream.

Logo overlay is working fine if and only if you are using transcode to stream your movie.

For marquee and other overlays, you can add options allowing you to see them few seconds or more, according to your wishes.

Let me explain..
I am starting streaming server, for example for channel 6 as follows:
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"
dshow://
:dshow-vdev="AVerMedia, AVerTV WDM Video Capture (7130)"
:dshow-adev="C-Media Wave Device" :dshow-caching=2000
:no-dshow-config :no-dshow-tuner :dshow-tuner-channel=6
:dshow-tuner-country=7 :dshow-tuner-input=2 :dshow-video-input=0
:dshow-audio-input=3 :dshow-video-output=0 :dshow-audio-output=1
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}
:duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=tuner-host:1234}}

So, clients can connect to http://tuner-host:1234 and watch what's going on.

1) I would like to insert small logo to the stream.
2) Time-by-time, for a while I would like to send a line of text pass by the screen.
