Passing custom VLC arguments?

[dhirwin]

With the old VLC plugin we were able to pass in custom VLC arguments (network-caching=300, rtsp-tcp, ipv4-timeout=15000) to VLC (i.e. LibVLC) but I don't see any available methods in the Wiki that allows me to do this via the WebChimera plugin. The "addPlayer" function takes parameters but other than "buffering" none that appear to be what I'm looking for. Hopefully I'm just looking in the wrong spot.

Check out .addPlaylist() and the vlcArgs parameter.

The options are passed as string in the same way you would of previously called them with .playlist.addWithOptions(mrl, options)

Example:

wjs().addPlaylist({
   url: [my-mrl],
   vlcArgs: [my-options]
});

This sets the options that are specific for each video item

Otherwise there are also more start-up parameters for the plugin, all work with .addPlayer() too, just use them as any other parameter in the function.

With the start-up parameters please remember to escape the parameters that have "-" in their name with quotes so JS won't error out. (ie: adjust-filter: should be called as "adjust-filter":)

Also, if you don't need the User Interface that WebChimera Player provides, you can just use WebChimera Plugin directly and it's own API.

Embedding WebChimera Plugin
WebChimera Plugin JS API

But the player wraps all the plugin api functions in different functions as it requires additional actions in order to work correctly.

I think this question was answered pretty well...
