Don't show file path when playing video using VLCJ

I'm using VLC and VLCJ to play video and audio files in my Java application, which works fine.

But there appears a text when playing the video; this text is the path of the played video.

I don't want it to appear when playing a video, so how do I disable this using Java?

Solution

  • Pass the option :no-video-title-show to disable media title on video. See http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help

    Example using VLCJ 1.2.0:

                        String[] options = {
                            ":sharpen-sigma=2.0", 
                            ":blur-factor=127", 
                            ":ipv4-timeout=3000", 
                            ":no-video-title-show", 
                            ":loop", 
                            ":file-caching="+getFileCaching(),
                            ":sout-all",
                            ":sout-keep"
                    };

                    gc.getMediaPlayer().setRepeat(true);
                    gc.getMediaPlayer().setPlaySubItems(true);
                    gc.getMediaPlayer().playMedia(media, options);

    Update:

    Recent libVLC 2.0.x changes to vout feature may cause no-video-title-show not to work on per-playitem configuration :no-video-title-show anymore and may need to be set as per-global configuration --no-video-title-show. Pass per-global configuration options in the VLCJ factory constructor MediaPlayerFactory(options) instead of mediaplayer's xxxMedia method.
