Hi,

I would like to change the VLC video output from one windows handle to another without requiring a call to stop the video, change the hwnd, then play the video again, is this possible? A single call to change the handle of the video output once the video is playing does nothing?

We cannot change the handle on the fly. It would crash.

You need to add one level of indirection in the stack of windows if you want to reparent the VLC video output dynamically.
