Hi,
thanks to the nice examples above, I managed to create a .vlm file and view mosaic of several cameras.
However, I struggling with the following: I would like to add a background picture for each individual stream.
With a single stream, the following command line works fine (I can see ref.jpg in the background of my live stream):
vlc.exe --sub-source logo --logo-file ref.jpg --logo-opacity 80 --logo-position=0 rstp://xxx:xxx@IP:554
But now I am struggling to incorporate theses logo command lines options into my vlm file.
I have tried the following:
new 1 broadcast enableds
setup 1 input "rtsp://192.168.199.130:554/live0"
setup 1 option network-caching=4000
setup 1 option dshow-size="960x540"
setup 1 option sub-source=logo
setup 1 option logo-file=ref.jpg
setup 1 option logo-opacity=80
setup 1 option logo-position=0
setup 1 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=1,width=960,height=540},select=video,dst=bridge-out{id=1}}
But the 4 lines I have added for the logo just seem to be ignored, I still see my mosaic but without background image being displayed.
Note that it is not a picture path issue, I am working with all files in the same folder (the same as vlc.exe) to avoid any path issues at this stage.
I have also tried, in the same spirit, to integrate marq:marquee option to overlay a free text on each individual stream, but without success, I only get the raw video streams displayed in mosaic view, without any logo or marquee text being overlayed.
Any idea would be welcom, I have googled a lot, and have not been able to find out what's wrong :)
Thanks
Note: I am using VLC 3.0.21 Vetinari
