Image Size Limit

Postby s.g. » 10 Sep 2009 17:58

Is there a way to increase the size limit of an Image that can be played?
I am able to display an Image up to 5k x 5k but as soon as I go up to 6k x 6k, I get the following errror:

No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "fake". Unfortunately, there is no way for you to fix this.

The Message Logger gives the following errors:

main debug: using decoder module "avcodec"
main debug: TIMER module_need() : 8.000 ms - Total 8.000 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 8.000 ms)
main debug: looking for video filter2 module: 20 candidates
swscale error: could not init SwScaler and/or allocate memory
main debug: TIMER module_need() : 0.000 ms - Total 0.000 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 0.000 ms)
main debug: no video filter found

invmem error: --vmem-width and --vmem-height must be > 0
main debug: TIMER module_need() : 605.000 ms - Total 605.000 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 605.000 ms)
main error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `fake'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
main debug: killing decoder fourcc `fake', 0 PES in FIFO

Thanks

Yes, there is a limit in the scaler, that is probably around 5k.

Ok, thanks for your response.
Is there a way to increase this size limit, either through the interface, command line, or source code?
