multiple playlist entries each with a marquee unique marquee

[Ohblahda]

Hi,
Using version 0.8.4 kernel 2.6.13 on an FC3 based machine, I have been trying to get a playlist together to allow me to have a text string channel name overlayed on a v4l tuner card based TV stream. I can make this happen from the command line as follows:

Code: Select all

vlc v4l:/dev/video0:frequency=55250:size=720x480:norm=1 --sub-filter=marq --marq-x=580 --marq-y=450 --marq-marquee=TESTDATA --marq-timeout=5000 --freetype-font=/usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf

This shows the channel stream and overlays the string TESTDATA in the bottom right hand corner.

Now the issue I have is that when I try to use a playlist of these channels the marquee data is not accepted as part of an playlist item specification. So...

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U #EXTVLCOPT:play-and-stop #EXTVLCOPT:freetype-font=/usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf #EXTVLCOPT:sub-filter=marq #EXTVLCOPT:marq-marquee=PBS v4l:/dev/video0:frequency=55250:size=720x480:norm=1 #EXTVLCOPT:width=184 #EXTVLCOPT:height=136 #EXTVLCOPT:play-and-stop #EXTVLCOPT:freetype-font=/usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf #EXTVLCOPT:marq-marquee=TV5 #EXTVLCOPT:marq-x=580 #EXTVLCOPT:marq-y=420 v4l:/dev/video0:frequency=61250:size=720x480:norm=1

... is an extract with two different items:
Item 0 will play and will have a marquee but it is the default and is not updated with the "PBS" data.
Item 1 will do the same and the marpuee string is still in teh top left.

Appending the marq-marquee on to the playlist item directly does not seem to work either.

I hope this is clear. Anything other info you might like I will do my best to supply.

Any help in getting this functionality to work would be very much appriciated.

Cheers
