[vlc] position window

[Philippe De Neve]

Hi all,

can anybody tell me what the command line options are to postion the video
window? I want to start 2 vlc's at the same time and they need to be side by
side (Instead of one on top of the other).

Besides of this, does anybody has an idea of how I can synchronize the
playback of the files?

Tnx for all help.
wfr, Philippe.

Use the --video-x and --video-y config options.

So I assume you're playing the same source twice. To have them synchronised,
the best way would be to use one instance of vlc to stream the file and 2
client instances. This should be enough to synchronise the 2 clients but if
it isn't perfect, you can try the netsync module. Use --extraintf netsync
on both clients and one of them must also have --netsync-master while the
other must have --netsync-master-ip=ipmaster instead.

Doesnt work. The windows both open in a different place on the screen but
again one on top of the other.
This is my batch file:

start C:\Progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc -vvv
C:\temp\F1\Formula1_orig_reduced_size.m1v --loop --video-x=0 --video-
y=0
start C:\Progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc -vvv
--loop --video-x=300 --video-y=300

y=0
start C:\Progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc -vvv
--loop --video-x=300 --video-y=300

This is not supported in embedded mode. So try something like:
start C:\Progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc -vvv C:
\temp\F1\Formula1_orig_reduced_size.m1v --loop --video-x=0 --video-y=0
--no-wxwin-embeed
