The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

Thanks for the excellent product that VLC is already!

Is it possible to add a few commands to the RC interface to be able to move/resize the Video windows (when not in fullscreen mode)? I know it doesn't makes much sense if a person is sending command, but to remotely control VLC from another program, this is a very big feature.

Thanks in advance!

I have been trying to dig in the code for this, but I can't find a way to do it. The fullscreen switch does set the but there doesn't seem to be a way to resize a generic vout object. I can send a VOUT_SIZE_CHANGE, but then how to pass on parameters about the new size? the different implementations seem to resize on the arrival of some GUI event so I can't get a handle on these...

Any help over this greatly appreciated

Anyone has any hints? How complex is this? Is there any chance we'll see any dev looking into this?

I'm also wanting to do exactly this. I'm writing a Java program, and require the ability to moe the screen/resize it from the java code.
