cvlc cropping error

[amerikiwi93]

I am attempting to run cvlc from the shell using the following command:
cvlc rtsp://user:[email protected]/media.amp --video-filter croppadd --croppadd-cropleft=215

Whenever I run this command, I get the error:

I have attempted to upgrade to the lates firmware using sudo rpi-update and this didn't fix it.

I have also attempted to use the legacy graphics driver by commenting out #dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d int the boot.txt and didn't fix it.

Any help would be appreciated

The croping option you want is just --crop <string> (ignore the filter) which is massively underdocumented in the help, but I think the version you want is --crop <width>x<height>+<x>+<y> where width and height are the cropped width/height and x/y are offsets into the frame.
As it stands this doesn't work correctly with DRM based fullscreen, though it should with MMAL (legacy). I'll fix DRM for the next version..
