The VideoLAN Forums

Hello community!

I'm actually translating the libVLC header files for freeBasic (to be honest: I'm finishing the work some other guy(s) once began).

It seems to work so far, and now I'm trying to write an example code to show how one can embed a video in a random window. Hooking the video output to a window and scaling it works fine, but it is displayed only in the center of the window, and I can't find a way to shift it e.g. to the upper left corner.

Is there a feature implemented in libVLC to move the video, and if not, is there a workaround?

OS is WinXP, libVLC is version 2.1.5

Noone any idea?

Don't do that. You should give libVLC a window with the correct size and position, is all.

Thank you for your answer.

Replacing the scaled video within an arbitrary window would have been the easiest way to use it as one of multiple elements e.g. for a game.

I guess it's time for plan B now: Removing the frame and title bar from the video window and making it a child of the game's main window. I hope I'll get it working.
