[vlc-devel] Difference between --sub-filter and --sub-source

[Peter Tap]

Hi Kaarlo,

Thank you for your help.

The confusing part is that the UI Preferences dialog shows that the marquee control can be played as a sub-source and/or a sub-filter. Why do we have two options? What is the right option?

Regards,
Peter

--sub-source=<string> Subpictures source module This adds so-called "subpicture sources". These filters overlay some images or text over the video (like a logo, arbitrary text, ...).
--sub-filter=<string> Subpictures filter module This adds so-called "subpicture filters". These filter subpictures created by subtitles decoders or other subpictures sources.

However, when I run vlc, just --sub-filter="mytest" or --sub-source="mytest" doesn't work. I need to specify both the options to get my filter to work. I am just trying to understand why I need both these options.
