With a bit of manual labour llv can be used as poor mans videowall. The process is as follows:
- Start llv from commandline, specifying a statefile, all the IP addresses, credentials and all other data needed to connect to the videostreams
- After the streams have started al dialogs will be overlapping each other. Drag and scale them to a proper position and size on the display
- Stop the program by pressing Q in one of the viewports (q stops a single viewport, Q stops all of them)
- The screen locations are now written in the statefile
- The videowall can now be started by just specifying the configuration filename on the commandline. You can create a shortcut on a desktop to do that so the videowall can be started by pressing an icon.
- You can edit the configurationfile with a text editor for fine adjustments, and disable the window border around the video.
Let's go through an example:
