[vlc] Combination of command line arguments for video-filter not working properly in VLC 2.x on Windows

[RCU]

Hello.
I tried quite extensively on VLC 2.x on Windows (XP, Vista) the following combination
of command line arguments for video-filter.
For example, when I give:
vlc.exe --vout-filter=transform --transform-type=90 --video-filter=adjust
--brightness=0.5 test.flv
it only applies the brightness transformation, without performing the rotation . This
command worked well with VLC 1.x .

Has something changed in argument parsing in VLC 2.x ? Can we do something about it?

Doing the transformations separately works though:
- vlc.exe --vout-filter=transform --transform-type=90 test.flv
- vlc.exe --video-filter=adjust --brightness=0.5 test.flv

This behavior happens also when using the Python VLC bindings.

Best regards,
Alex

Hi.
I come back to ask this question again. I have problems to rotate and adjust
brightness, contrast, etc of a video played in VLC from the command line (see email below)
and even more importantly in my application.

The application I'm using is a program written in Python and uses the VLC library,
more exactly the VLC Python bindings from
http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc/bindings/python.git;a=tree;f=generated;b=HEAD .
The application can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2enkKQJt-AyX256a05pOEh2X1E/edit?usp=sharing (or
https://icam-mobile-revival.googlecode.com/files/iCam_WinMobile.zip ) . You can run it by
executing on Windows run.bat (you can easily adapt on Linux the command) .

When using the VLC Python bindings I am not able at all to rotate or adjust
brightness, contrast, etc of the video played (which should be rotated at 90 degrees) -
you can look in View.py, for:
UI.media[indexVideo] = UI.instance[indexVideo].media_new(
pathFileName,
...
"video-filter=transform",
"transform-type=%d" % Settings.myCfg.rotateDegrees[indexVideo])

Please let me know if you can point me to the problem with the video filter options.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Alex

Hi.
I found at
http://www.marshut.com/xnhnq/strange-behavior-with-sub-sources-i-can-show-custom-marquee-while-playing-yet-not-in-transcode-section.html
a different way to pass options via the Python bindings to the VLC library in my
application: basically I have to pass them directly as parameters to the vlc.Instance()
(and not in media_new() ).
I updated my code - you can find it at
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2enkKQJt-AyTkhWcVI4V0YtUUk/edit?usp=sharing .
Note that I am still not able to show marquee in the played video from my
application: option --sub-filter=marq{marquee=Atext} passed via VLC Python bindings does
not go to libvlc.

Still the first issue I wrote about remains: VLC (either standalone - from the
command line - or from my application) does not allow simultaneous rotate and adjust
brightness, contrast, etc of a video played.

Best regards,
Alex
