hi,

Marq and, I believe, logo, are already exposed -- accessible for on-the-fly changes.

logo overlay is imo not accessible for on-the-fly changes...but it would be great: I use VLC for a DBox-Netstream and can watch the video...but I miss the OSD-Framebuffer which can be periodical/action triggered stored as a *.png
Display the OSD-Frambuffer as a logo overlay works very fine but how can I force VLC to refresh the logo? I have to restart VLC to read the logo..

example VLC-screenshot with a transparent logo/OSD overlay:



so it would be very great if its possible to force VLC to refresh/read the logo (periodical) without to restart VLC...and if the path to the logo.png could be a networkpath..e.g. http://*** or ftp://***

cu,

I wonder how to get that runtime info to stick as a on screen display timeline. I figured that something similar to subfilter "Time" could be used?

When you fast forward using hotkeys (Alt+right/left arrow) the current time and runtime shows, works perfect, but how to make it show all the time?

I need this to work when I use second monitor (TV) in fullscreen mode.

I think if you call the VLC variable in which the path to the logo is saved, then the callback attached to it, can update the logo.

sorry, I dunno how to do that...I would prefer a more user friendly VLC integrated solution e.g. with a slider for update intervall time

what is the name of the 'VLC variable'? I am still looking for that feature and if the path to the logo.png could be a networkpath, it would also be possible to view eg. live Webcam Pictures...

is it really so hard to realize a 'Live-Logo' function?
