Play multiple tiled videos (NOT multiple instance)

Postby x26s » 05 Aug 2014 15:40

Hello,
I am not a coder, but this feature will definitely take VLC through the next milestone.
Multiple instances of vlc are possible. But while playing them in that fashion, the interface comes in the way + the hassle of resizing each window.
It would be great to have a single instance of VLC play multiple video files with the following features:
1. Able to play local files/ network stream (streaming)
2. Choice of number of tiles of videos(odd number means one will be blank or for the current marquee feature)
3. Automatic/uneven resizing of windows (possibly a "snap to grid" feature in the gui)
4. Play all/ Pause all
5. Save as one video of particular length
6. No limitations on number of tiles/ time length of video sequences
7. Separate playlists for each tile to compensate for 5

Some reference sources to existing softwares (replace dashes with dots; max links for this forum reached)

I know this is an old request but it's still valid.
My use case is to display multiple RTSP streams from IP cameras in a single instance of VLC for the aforementioned benefits of ease of window movement and sizing.

I did find RTSP Camera View app at https://github.com/grigory-lobkov/rtsp-camera-view which uses VLC but it only supports VLC v2.1. :-(

Would it be that much work to have tiled videos?
