I dream about new RC interface command, something like a
- vfilter <#num> add <string>
- vfilter <#num> [on|off|show|clear]

idea examples:
i want connect to telnet (OLDRC), define some video filters / effects, eg.
#> [welcome to VLC RC]
#>
#> vfilter 1 "logo{file='c:\logo1.png,10000,127;c:\logo2.png,10000,127;'}" # pseudo-animated transparent logo ;)
#> vfilter 2 "marquee{...blebleble...}" # marquee ;)
#> vfilter 3 "text{8,"hello world",12}" # bottom-center 12px font size world domination statement ;)
then "execute" filter logo at 5 min of movie via:
#> vfilter 1 on
and show some text
#> vfilter 3 on
...and remove stupid text ;)
#> vfilter 3 off
and deactivate logo at 10 minute of movie via:
#> vfilter 1 off

btw. I know, it's not simple - but really powerfull option.
maybe (at the beginning) only one instance of vfilter ... ;)

cheers
