VLC OSD control (1 Viewer)

[kroko]

Hi,

I'm playing with the OSD for VLC. See my screenshot. Has somebody else already tried something with it ? Is it possible to have text as well instead of icons ?

Quick test for everybody:

In the VLC dir I ececute
"vlc whaterver.mpg --extraintf rc --sub-filter osdmenu --osdmenu-file=osdmenu/dvd.cfg"

and the in the vlc window I write
"menu on"

there it is....

Looks very easy ? Or not...

The only way I can see - draw the osd and save the file in the background

Bitmap bmap = new Bitmap (pictureBox1.Image);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmap);

g.DrawString(DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString(), new Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 10, 33);
pictureBox1.Image = bmap;
g.Dispose();

pictureBox1.Image.Save(@"C:\Pic.png");

(here I just put the time from now)
