[vlc-devel] strange behavior: with sub sources I can show custom marquee while playing YET not in transcode section?!

[XYZFounder]

Main goal: To dynamically change logo and text (custom count-downer!) my
http video live stream!

I use vlc.py to control the vlc player instance.

WHEN I simply use instance = vlc.Instance("--sub-source logo:marq")
with # media = instance.media_new('tester.mp4') then I get my logo
AND the countdown timer as marq into VLC player. (ALL perfect)
 

NOW; when I want to have an http output created I need somehow sub
source to be in my transcode part, but it only shows the raw mp4 video
(no logo nor text) instead then :(

IF I use sfilter statsments it seems vlc is freezing it in and then
uses it, hence I'm get the starting time but no update (hence I also
cannot alter the logo.
