Hi,
I'm trying to figure out a way to elegantly expose the OpenGL context that the libglwin32 plugin uses so that I can draw OpenGL objects on top of a playing video.
Without writing a new OpenGL output plugin which directly exposes the context (or lets me assign a callback in GLSwapBuffers()), is there a way through libVLC that I can get at the VOUT object to get to the pf_swap callback?

Thanks.

Get at the vout object, yes (with the ugly vlc_object_find() function). Call pf_swap, no. It would not be thread-safe. The only way is to modify the current OpenGL provider plugin, or write a new one.
