Vedio cannot be rendered in a semitransparent window

[windywater]

Hello,

In a project of MFC, I created a CStatic control in a dialog and set it the video output window(using libvlc_media_player_set_hwnd), and it works. However, if I set the WS_EX_LAYERED attribute to the dialog and set its opacity, the video ouput is black. I tried it in MAC OS X, it had no problem when the outer window is semitransparent. How could I solve the problem? The version of libVLC is 1.1.11. Thanks in advance!

You can try to force another video output plugin. On Windows, the default hardware accelerated plugins are not meant to be composited.
