The VideoLAN Forums

I've been spending alot of time trying to figure this out. I've looked up and down the forums as well as google as much as possible.

The following test command works to a point. I can get the logo to show and then disappear. But, maybe I'm not understanding the intent of logo-repeat but the logo is not coming back. Am I misinterpreting something here? Based upon the command line wiki, I assume logo-delay is the length to show the logo in milliseconds. And then the logo-repeat is how many times to run this cycle?

vlc -vvv -I dummy test.avi --logo-file=logo.png --logo-delay=1000 --logo-repeat=25 --logo-transparency=100 --logo-position=10 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mpga,vb=1024,ab=128,sfilter=logo}:std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:8080}' --ttl 12 vlc:quit

My interpretation: So after 1000 milliseconds disappear. Then after 1000 milliseconds reappear. Do this 25 times. Yes, that would be annoying, but it is just a test. If you see any other ways I can tweak it, please let me know. I may not have discovered them yet. Also, the stream is embedded into a web page.

Thanks anyone!

This command will display the logo 1 second 25 times without any skipping (If i understand it correctly). You might want to try this instead: "--logo-file 'image,1000,100;uselessimage,1000,0' --logo-repeat 25". This will alternate displaying "image" for 1 second at 100/255 alpha and "uselessimage" for 1 second at 0/255 alpha (== completely invisible).

That worked, thanks! It's giving the "blink" effect now.

Now I can continue tweaking.

For anyone else ever finding this... this is what worked for me as a test. (Show 3 seconds, go away for 1)

vlc -vvv -I dummy test.avi --logo-file='logo.png,3000,100;deadlogo.png,1000,0' --logo-repeat 5 --logo-position=10 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=768,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=64,sfilter=logo}:std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:8080}' --ttl 12 vlc:quit

So For every second we want it to play we would post this?

10 s = 10000
35 s = 35000

also if we want the position of the logo in a certain area can we use the X and Y integers like the marquee module?

say i want the position at:

X = 519
Y = 409

how would this be written in the code?

any chance this would work in VLM? if not i guess WinXP remote desktop will work.
