VLC Extensions by mederi 34 comments

I will check whether the extension works in new VLC 4 and it will be a good opportunity to improve something, too. What do you expect from update of this VLC Extension? - Dec 02 2020
Sampler PG

VLC Extensions by mederi 34 comments

Use "Sampler (PG).lua" instead of "sampler.lua" (for old VLC 2) in current VLC version (3.0.11). Read the description here. - Sep 28 2020

VLC Extensions by mederi 34 comments

It is out of control of this extension. You can either avoid formats that do not work well with very short durations or better do not use such short times. Try following setting in VLC preferences: Tools > Preferences > Show settings=All > Input/Codecs: Fast seek - Aug 16 2020

Thanks for the extension. I would like to report some bugs and suggestions on Windows: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&p=506925#p506925
You could use something like: if vlc.io then --use vlc.io stuff since VLC 3.0.2
else
-- use standard Lua's io stuff

I do not tell you how-to now. I remember the code is a bit messy - a rework with minimal effort, a prototype. Probably it requires more work to implement the feature. I will check it later. - May 19 2020

Edit the script v3 in a text editor. Find following line within click_Get_time function:
local timestring = Time2string(vlc.var.get(input,"time"))
Then inser next new lines of code there:

local f = vlc.io.open(vlc.config.userdatadir().."/vlc_jtt_log.txt", "a+")
if f then
-- timestring without milliseconds:
f:write(string.match(timestring,"(.*),").."\r\n")

VLC Extensions by mederi 200 comments

You can have a button in a dialog box window to log the time in a file. I can provide that piece of code for another VLC Extension: Jump to time (Previous frame). Then you can try to use Autohotkey helper to press that button. I have already instructed a user in comments how to copy the time to clipboard and so it can go to a file, too. If you are interested then write a brief comment on Jump to time page. - May 18 2020

VLC Extensions by mederi 34 comments

O.K. I have already written the "Mix playlists" script you can find around. The algorithm can be reused in Sampler(PG). Todo:
- The option could be called "Mix samples" placed next to the "Shuffle tracks".
- Another new option "Shuffle samples" could be placed next to the "Random position".
- Skipper [s] (vs Samples per item).
- rework, improve and polish the messy code. - May 16 2020

VLC Extensions by mederi 200 comments

If it is the Lua interpreter version problem, then you could try to fix the script ("load" instead of "loadstring") or better use Lua 5.1 library like in VLC for Windows (5.1.4). I am not Linux user, so do not ask me how to. Try to check the Lua version. Please try to find a solution and let me know it. - Apr 03 2020

Following solution does not need pressings of the button in the dialog box (v1.3).
Line 28>
capabilities = {"playing-listener"}
Line 42> --Define a callback function here by inserting following new lines:
function playing_changed()
input_events_handler()

Time v3.2

VLC Extensions by mederi 200 comments

You can find a comment from a user named dementia (on the 2-nd page). He provided a solution for [F] tag. You could try it and tell me how it works.
"player.get_rate()" is the speed rate (1x, 1.5x, 2x, ...) and it is the new API for VLC 4. Later I will fix the script for VLC 4 and I can implement some improvements, too. The problem is that the "Frame rate" key is translated according to selected interface language in VLC. I think the English could be supported by default and users of other languages should provide translation manually according to codec information (Tools > Codec information: Stream, Frame rate). - Sep 29 2019
Time v3.2

VLC Extensions by mederi 200 comments

[2-nd thread]
The record button does not transcode/reencode video with a text overlay. You can try streaming wizard (Media > Stream...) where you select source, destination, create&select transcoding profile with appropriate video parameters and subtitles overlay (soverlay). Then you can insert marq sfilter into final stream output string there:
,soverlay,sfilter=marq{position=6,marquee="%d.%m.%y %H:%M:%S"}
You can use more marq parameters (color, size, opacity, x, y) or you can set them in advanced VLC preferences (Tools > Preferences > Show settings=All > Video \ Subtitles/OSD).
You can prepare a command line (a batch/bash script) to simplify things next time or an Extension is possible, too.
The Time VLC Extension can be modified to use marquee filter (please find the conversation with user named frob).

You can help to debug the Time script on your system and share your experience with othere users here. The script is written for Lua 5.1 Please try to edit the "time_intf.lua" script in a text editor, then launch VLC from command line with options activating the interface script and logging into a file:
- insert line 30>
vlc.msg.info("[ TIME ] " .. _VERSION)
- comment out/eliminate Get_function() call in line 43>
--Get_config()
Launch VLC from command line (this works on Windows and Mac or try the way mentioned at the end of our 1-st thread conversation; space " " instead of "=" characters in Linux?):

Time v3.2

VLC Extensions by mederi 200 comments

It is weird that extensions in the menu is grayed out. There should be at least VLSub extension by default available in VLC menu. Is it possible that extensions are turned off somewhere in VLC preferences?
In the past a usere named pablo_kks helped me to debug the script on his Mac. You can find the discussion with him here if you want. You could start VLC with logging into a file, then check the logs there:
[quote]
Interface script location:
~/Library/Application/Support/org.videolan.vlc/lua/intf/looper_intf.lua
Then run VLC from command line (logging to vlc_log.txt file + interface script activation):
/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC --verbose=2 --file-logging --logfile=vlc_log.txt --extraintf=luaintf --lua-intf=looper_intf
Check the log file, post it at pastebin.com and then paste the link here.

Perhaps it is not an issue with newer Lua interpreter than Lua 5.1 like on Linux in previous discussion with a user named bpinto. - Sep 18 2019

VLC Extensions by mederi 200 comments

_ext (Settings) helps you to set related VLC preferences for automatic activation of _intf when launching VLC. You can check them manually as described in the description here (Alternative activation ... >> luaintf (all checkboxes disabled!) & time_intf in related input fields). Then you should start VLC with logging into a file and then check the logs file (search time_intf activation):
vlc -vv --logfile=vlclog.txt, or vlc -vv 2>&1 > logfile.txt
What is Lua version you use? You can insert following line into time_ext, into activate() function, then check logs in messages window:
vlc.msg.info(_VERSION)
What video source are you trying to record (file, video stream, ...)? How do you record in VLC (View > Advanced controls > Record button)? You should transcode video, if you want to hardburn text overlay like subtitles. If it is system actual date/time only, then you can use marquee filter in VLC. - Sep 17 2019

VLC Extensions by mederi 200 comments

Thanks. VLC for Windows contains Lua 5.1 interpeter. Loadstring has really disappeared in Lua 5.2 and 5.3. I did not know, that Linux useres can use different/newer Lua version. Then you should fix it in time_intf.lua, too. Perhaps the rest of the code will work. The active _intf script is the main one doing all the running time in a playing video and the _ext script is the control panel and the settings dialog box, where you can activate the _intf script. What do you mean by "to see real time"? Is it [E] elapsed time or [T] system time? - Sep 16 2019

I am not Linux user. I can see there are VLC edition for openSUSE: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-suse.html
Does VLSub work? Can you install manually any other extensions? Does Addons manager work (Tools > Plugins and extensions)? You can check logs (Tools > Messages, Verbosity: 2(debug)). Perhaps you should try VLC for Linux forum https://forum.videolan.org/ - Sep 15 2019

VLC Extensions by mederi 200 comments

Just store the duration in a new variable (dt) before it changes a number value to a formatted string:
local duration = vlc.input.item():duration()
local dt=duration
Then you can use your calculation: addend-dt+et (instead of et+addend). - Jun 20 2019

The code for [E+seconds] tag ([E+49830]):

if addend then
osd_output = string.gsub(osd_output, "%[E%+.-%]", tostring(TIME_Time2string(et+addend, 0, not TIME_Enoms)))

There is a workaround using marquee filter reading a text file (Tools > Preferences > Show settings=All > Video \ Subtitles/OSD
: [v] Marquee display
\ Marquee: Text file [D:\vlc-3.0.2+\portable\timemarquee.txt] / Position / Font / Misc).

Edit the "time_intf.lua" in a text editor, find following line:
vlc.osd.message(TIME_Decode_time_format(), 1111111111, TIME_osd_position)
Replace it with following new lines of code:
local f = vlc.io.open(vlc.config.userdatadir().."\\timemarquee.txt", "w")
if f then
f:write(TIME_Decode_time_format())
f:close()
end

I could add this option in Time extension in the future version. - May 21 2019

Current implementation of extension scripts does not allow too much dynamics and so events could happen mostly only by clicking buttons within dialog box. Some more complicated solution, a workaround, is possible with the usage of interface script or an external helper besides the extension script. - Mar 30 2019

I am Windows user, but it should be possible. Try following command line in your osx:
echo 00:00:00,000|pbcopy
If it works, then you can edit the lua script in a text editor and insert following line within function click_Get_time():
os.execute("echo "..Time2string(vlc.var.get(input,"time")).."|pbcopy") - Mar 30 2019

You can edit the "time_intf.lua" script in a text editor. Find the line:
osd_output = string.gsub(osd_output, "%[E.-%]", math.floor(et * fps))
Edit the math.floor() function there if it make sense for you:
osd_output = string.gsub(osd_output, "%[E.-%]", math.floor(et * fps % fps)) - Feb 19 2019
