Video Resolution of Mosaic Inputs with libVLC

[SaundersB]

Good morning,

I have a question about specifying the individual broadcast inputs resolution for a mosaic. Currently, when I load a static file twice as two independent inputs, I'm seeing them at a fixed resolution. I set the resolution in the output, but it doesn't affect the resolution. I read:

"Since vlc 2.0, the mosaic options must be passed in the command line, and not in the vlm file."

How would I pass resolution specific settings for the individual video inputs? I've attempted the options to no avail. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

FYI to anybody else that has the same problem as me.

I ended up figuring out how to add the command line switched to the mosiac. The trick is to add the {} brackets after mosaic in the transcode command. There you can set your parameters. Hope this helps somebody.
