The VideoLAN Forums

hello,

I am trying to achieve functionality like video is running in the browser while any html related content(e.g. a set of <div>s) to appear over video screen. I have been trying to use the
Atom net_wm_state_below = XInternAtom( dpy, "_NET_WM_STATE_BELOW", False );
to send the vlc window below but it doesnt work. OR, can it be done using the z-order ??

this is an html page with vlc plugin, I want the text to appear on top of video

html5 also introduced the <video> element but i think it has no control over it !!! just guessing

I am really interested if you manage to do it.

Have you tried to remove overlay ?

Have you tried to remove overlay ?

i didnt understand, "Have you tried to remove overlay ?"

Deactivate VLC video output overlay.

well, as it turned out, HTML5 <video> element did it.



tested on firefox beta ... sadly its not vlc plugin that is runnig video
