<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div>Folks,</div><div><br></div><div>There is a bug in vlc and I am trying to narrow down and understand how to fix it.</div><div><br></div><div>When the following command is run, the marquee text is displayed as expected:</div><div><br></div><div>vlc --sub-source="marq" --video-title-show myfile.mp4</div><div><br></div><div>However, if video title is not shown, the marquee does not get displayed:</div><div><br></div><div>vlc --sub-source="marq" --no-video-title-show myfile.mp4</div><div><br></div><div>Essentially, something gets triggered when the video title is shown.</div><div><br></div><div>I am wondering what could be going on. What would be a good place to
examine this? I put beakpoints in freetypc.c. The font is indeed getting created. I don't understand why the text is not getting displayed.<br></div><div><br></div><div>To overcome this problem, I am currently running marq as sub-source as well as sub-filter:<br></div><div><br></div><div>vlc --sub-source="marq" --sub-filter="marq" --no-video-title-show myfile.mp4</div><div><br></div><div>Although the terminal output says that marq could be loaded as a filter, at least the subtitle gets displayed even when video title is not getting shown.</div><div><br></div><div>Any help would be appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Peter<br></div></div></body></html>
