Image module in v. 1.0.0

Postby LampCord » 17 Mar 2009 14:56

I just built 1.0.0 (finally, longest build ever?) on Fedora 8 and now my image options don't work, ie:

vlc -V image <source> --image-out-prefix=webcam --image-out-format=png --image-out-ratio=60

I get:

vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--image-out-prefix=webcam'

If I remove that option, I get the same message for --image-out-format, etc.

This used to work in the previous version and these options are from the online manual.

Is the image module something I have to enable at build time?
Did the command line options change in version 1.0.0?

Also, I built vlc as root but run it as a different user. Is that the right way or should I rebuild it as the user I want to use to run it?

The "images" video output module has been renamend to "scene" and transformed into a video filter.

so vlc --video-filter scene -V dummy

and vlc -p scene --advanced

Thanks!

That looks like it will do everything I need.
