LibVlc 4.0 - How to disable overlay icons?

[neosettler]

Greetings,

Getting the hang of 4.0. I'm wondering how to get rid of the Play/Pause, etc icons overlay whenever the media state changes?

thank you,

That sounds like a bug that you should file on Trac.

Hi Remi, maybe I did not explain the issue correctly because it seems like a legitimate feature. To make things clear, whenever a video is playing there is a triangle icon that fades in and out. Whenever a video is stopped there is a square icon that fades in and out. I'm simply interested in turning this option off.

Try giving

Code: Select all

--no-osd

to

Code: Select all

libvlc_new

Marvelous, thank you!

That's an expected feature in VLC, but I don't think LibVLC apps should have VLC icons showing up on their videos.
