Type Error - libvlc_video_set_logo_string

Question

I am trying to display a logo using VideLogoOption from python-vlc

vlc.libvlc_video_set_logo_int(pi,vlc.VideoLogoOption.logo_enable,1)
vlc.libvlc_video_set_logo_string(pi,vlc.VideoLogoOption.logo_file,"Media/GUI.png")

Error: "argument 3: TypeError: wrong type" error error enter image description here

How to pass the file path correctly?

No documentation available

Answer 1

Set logo file path

logo_file_path = b"Media/GUI.png"  # Convert string to bytes

Set the logo file path using libvlc_video_set_logo_string

vlc.libvlc_video_set_logo_string(pi, vlc.VideoLogoOption.logo_file, logo_file_path)

Make sure you convert the logo file path to bytes using b"..." notation because libVLC expects byte strings for paths.

Also, ensure that your VLC instance pi is correctly initialized and that you're using the correct VideoLogoOption constant (vlc.VideoLogoOption.logo_file) to specify the property you want to set
