Command Line --directx-device & --input-slave does not work

[GogolBordello]

Please need urgent help for settnig up a Video Installation..

Using the latest VLC on Win7 64bit

- I'm trying to use the Command line --input-slave to play two synced Videos together ... that works

WORKING CODE:

Code: Select all

start "first VLC" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" C:\Users\acer\Desktop\a.mov --input-slave C:\Users\acer\Desktop\b.mov --start-time 0 --input-repeat=-1

- The command --directx-device="\\.\DISPLAY1" & --directx-device="\\.\DISPLAY2" is used to distribute the Clips on each Display .. that also works but only if I start two VLCs.

Code: Select all

start "first VLC" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" C:\Users\acer\Desktop\a.mov --no-embedded-video --directx-device="\\.\DISPLAY1" --fullscreen --loop start "second VLC" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" C:\Users\acer\Desktop\b.mov --no-embedded-video --directx-device="\\.\DISPLAY2" --fullscreen --loop

BUT the combination of the two does NOT work.

how do i run --directx-device & --input-slave together ??

I tried:

Code: Select all

start "first VLC" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" C:\Users\acer\Desktop\a.mov --directx-device="\\.\DISPLAY1" --input-slave C:\Users\acer\Desktop\b.mov --directx-device="\\.\DISPLAY2" --fullscreen --start-time 0 --input-repeat=-1

But it does not propperly work. VLC shows both clips either on one or the other screen together. But not each on the designated display.

Please help me to find a fix ! I definitely need the videos synced via --input-slave otherwise they will run apart after a while.

You cannot do that with one VLC. It won't go to the designated display.

What you can do is used the netsync module to synchronize the 2 VLC, though.
