I'm trying to play a video in VLC using command line, but I don't want it to play in full size. I trying to pass width
and height
as instructed at http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Play_HowTo/Advanced_Use_of_VLC#Video_options but it does not change the appearance of the video -- it is still played in its original resolution. What am I doing incorrectly?
Here's the command I'm using:
/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC --playlist-autostart --video-on-top --width=400 --height=400 ./2013-london-snow.mov
As I understand their online documentation is outdated. Maybe someone could point to the source code of command line interface.
man vlc
? Orvlc --longhelp --advanced
?
