App that displays message over video?

[wetwired]

I´m looking for a commandline application that can accept a string as input and the overlay it over video being sent to an X-card.

I´m using zoomplayer as my mediaplayer and would like to display messages on my TV over the video from the X-card using a commandline like this:

application_name.exe -mess: Hello World

Is this even possible? Perhaps some of the programmers on this board an help?

I could do it in GB-PVR when its playing video via the XCard, but sorry I can help with zoomplayer. Their developers would need to implement this functionality.

Ok, I think it would be a nice feature. You could have lots of uses for a commandline option that can write over the video. Is it possible to make it write while the video is running or would it have to stop?

Video can be running.

Nice.
A bit off topic but can I start playing a file in GB-PVR using the commandline? I can´t seem to find any info on commandline options in the documentation.

It used to be able to, but I havn't tried in a long time. Just try running it with a filename and see what happens.

Thanks, mamema

That´s a cool app but it´s not really what I´m lookin for. I want the message to appear on top of the videostream that xcard sends to my tv.
