Ok. That didn't work:-(.

Is there some other way I could code this?

Hello Edward,

Thank you for your help.

I think I may not have been clear in what I was asking for. I wanted to permanently code it in my customized version of vlc such that the module always gets loaded irrespective of the settings in the preferences or tools dialogs.

After digging through the code a bit deeper, it appears the answer could be in set_capability macro. For example, for the marquee filter, it is defined as:

    set_capability( "sub source", 0 )

The second parameter, the score, dictates how the module is loaded. The value 0 implies that the module can only be loaded explicitly. However, if I use a different value, the module will automatically get loaded.

Although I haven't tried it yet, I think that may do the trick.

Regards,
Peter

It seems the only way to enable the marquee filter is to go through Tools-->Effects and Filters-->Overlay and check "Add Text." However, in my case, I would like to have the filter always enabled whether or not "Add Text" is checked. I am trying to understand where would be a good place to permanently force this value.
Tools -> Preferences (select "All" radiobutton) -> Video -> Subtitles/OSD -> (Right panel)Subpictures filter module -> Check "Marquee"
