Saving crop and aspect ratio settings for each video!

[0rb]

Hello, I have a feature request that I really would like to see implemented, and it shouldn't be too hard to make it! I'm sorry if this has been already suggested.

Basically I would like that when I watch a video, and use the crop and/or aspect ratio keyboard shortcuts, it save those settings in text file.

Then, when I replay this video later, it search in that file if settings are saved, then if found, it apply the saved settings, so I don't have to press the keyboard shortcuts to modify those ratios each time I watch this video! For faster processing, it is probably better to load the file in memory only once, when VLC is started

An small example is better than few lines of texts, since I'm not english Here is how the text file could looks like:

Code: Select all

//format is: filename = aspect ; crop //the settings should be saved as a division representation //so users can easily modify directly in the config file (as 16/9 is easier to remember than 1.77777) Video1.avi=16/9;16/10 //but floats should also be allowed of course. Video2.flv=1.25;1.33333333333333

Also, this feature could be developped to save more settings, such as audio volume for example!

Please, tell me what you guys think about it! Thanks

I think that it is possible.

Yep, this has been requested earlier.

I'd like a similar feature.

My computer doesn't recognise that my TV is widescreen so when I watch 16:9 aspect video on it in full-screen there are black lines top and bottom. I can tell VLC to play the video in 4:3 apect, which is great. But I have to do this every time I watch a video. Even if I stop a video and start it again without closing the player, I have to set the ratio again. I'd like it to be possible to set such options as a default.

Actually, it ought to be a field in a .xspf file.

I have episodes of television series ripped with bad cropping in season-based folders, and I would love to play each in order via a playlist file for that folder with the added crop/aspect settings.

This seems more than plausible, but feasible. Can it be added to the dev list for the next build?
