VLC and AVerMedia Capture Card

[James]

Does anyone know the command line options to get VLC to run a capture card in a screen division full screen with no chrome and tool bars, etc? I can get it to work fine from the UI, but can't figure out the Command Line.

Hi James,
It's covered in the Video tutorial:

including --dummy and no mouse.

Thanks, I've watched the vidio several times and agree that it shows dummy and no chrome for using VLC with DVD and palying wma files, etc. but not for a capturec ard like the AVermedia C038. If I is in the video, I am not seeing it.

So if you could just cut and paste that command line instead of the link to the video, that would be great.

Oh, for capture we do not use VLC as it does not work well at all...

I am so happy. I found the problem. I noticed as I was turning the BlackBox on and off that I could see the TV picture for a bit. It was hidden behind the Airplayer screen all along. I checked the profile.vcr file and sure enough, the AlwaysOnTop flag got unset somehow. Put it back to 1 and it is working as advertised.

Thanks
James

That's good to hear....
FYI, thanks for your email / feedback on the BLACKBOX.
