Adding options

[Kevin-Thatit]

I am trying to add theses options in the .yaml but I'm not sure if it's possible or how, i checked everywhere correctly, I used to launch vlc with a .cmd that let me make it fullscreen, hide the titles, etc

Exemple of what I am trying to do: --no-embedded-video --directx-device="\.\DISPLAY1" --fullscreen --loop

and i'm trying to do the same here, is it possible ? i tried with "options: []" but it just show a bunch of texts and then crash

Also, is there a way to stop it from closing to see what it says when it doesn't work ? could help understand what wrong

I am on Windows, thanks !

Try the following:

sources:
    ...
vlc:
    options:
        no-embedded-video: true
        directx-device: '\.\DISPLAY1'
        fullscreen: true
        loop: true

The console open, say VLC Scheduler, then show a few lines of white and red texts then close, too fast so i can't read

I tried to remove some of the options, keep only fullscreen, same result

[EugeneDae]

Launch vlcscheduler.exe from Windows command-line prompt or PowerShell, then it won't close.

Oh great ! thanks, still learning about theses stuff
Here what its tell me: [12:11:13] VLC Scheduler v0.3.2 started.
[12:11:15] Launching VLC with HTTP server at C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe.
[12:11:15] can only concatenate list (not "dict") to list
[12:11:15] VLC Scheduler stopped.

I remove the options and it work

Let's try this then:

vlc:
    options: ['no-embedded-video', 'directx-device', '\.\DISPLAY1', 'fullscreen', 'loop']

[Kevin-Thatit]

That worked ! Thanks a bunch, really love your work

[Kevin-Thatit]

Sorry, back again at it I can theses errors everytime like VLC try to open them as files instead of being options, not sure what wrong, i tried "" instead of ' ' and that didn't work, hope you got some others ideas if you don't mind, thanks !
(sorry for the french)

[EugeneDae]

I'm having a little trouble understanding what you were trying to do. Could you please post the contents of your vlcscheduler.yaml?

[Kevin-Thatit]

Sure, here you go, i'm just trying to make it fullscreen, show no titles and be on screen 1 on boot, it work in an .cmd file I made that open VLC with theses settings
vlcscheduler - Copie.zip

According to the VLC docs, you need to prefix such options with two hyphens: e.g. no-embedded-video should be --no-embedded-video.

[Kevin-Thatit]

That worked ! the only option that doesn't seem to want to work is things that doesn't seem to is 'directx-device .\DISPLAY2' is appear on the first display no matter what, not sure if there something possible with your program to choose on what screen it appear
