Hi ,
Is there any way to specify my own X Window ID into which VLC should play. I intend to write an application that uses the VLC player but I would like it play into an alternative X Window that I create instead of its own.
What is the best way to do this? Are there any examples anybody may know of?
Regards,
Navneet

Hello,
I'd like to do that too.
If we were using Win32 the answer would be FindWindow and then SetParent...

It would be easy to implement, but it's not currently possible from the command line (only through the C API).

VLC 1.0 will support this with the --drawable-xid command line parameter, assuming a X11 video output plugin is selected.
