Video Desktop Theme

Postby Sumona » 03 Jul 2012 10:43

Hey there, me again, my second time posting, was amazed how quick my last thread was answered and just thought I'd say thank you, this is an excellent community and am happy to be apart of you guys. :3

My problem is I've heard that you can use VLC to stream Video's as a Desktop Background, but I'm not sure if TwoFlower has changed something, or Windows 7 isn't compatible with the feature!!

Here's a video of someone doing it.

Apparently you change your output to Direct X but I've tried all that and it all comes out black, does anyone have an idea of what to do?

VLC Version: 2.0.1 and 2.0.2
