OSD Marquee Editing On-The-Fly, Black Screen, OSD via VNC
Posted: 20 Mar 2009 01:01
I just bumped into VLC. Someone should have knocked me into it a long time ago! I think it's great and had something that I've been thinking would be a neat feature but no one had it until now (I think) - but I need a variation of the OSD Marquee... I need it to be interactive without spending hundreds of dollars for a video injection unit that imposes text over a video signal. Without too much explanation (although thinking out loud, other practical uses can come from this), I would like the OSD Marquee to be changeable on-the-fly. I don't want to stop the video, edit the Marquee line, and start it back up again. Is this possible?
Then, is it possible to display a logo, a black screen, or some jpg/png file while the media player is switching from one video file to the next? I've seen my desktop briefly, then the VLC hat over a black screen, but wanting to know if I can show something else instead.
Also, can someone direct me to information on using the Remote OSD over VNC feature as I think that would be cool to this from home while my screen plays through a window at my office and I can change the Marquee line based on real-time happenings. But when I turned it on for kicks, it bombs the program at start up. Thanks in advance!
