[MPlayer-users] Moving the video window in slave mode?

[Sam Hatoum]

Thanks for the quick response. It's given me an idea, but not a
solution!

My software aims to be a skinnable x-platform player that uses a Flash
as the presentation layer, and Java as the broker, which controls
mplayer.

Within Flash, an area is defined as a rectangle, which mplayer displays
its borderless video on-top, and provides buttons to control the player.
This part works great with Windows, and I (perhaps stupidly) assumed I'd
be able to do the same for Linux/Mac.

My goal is to be able to render a frameless window, be able to un/set it
to always-on-top, and to be able to dynamically move/resize it on all
platforms (mac, win, lin). Any ideas how I can pull this off?

Many thanks!

Sam

If you're using X, you'll be much better off if you create and manage
your own window and tell MPlayer to draw to it using the -wid option.
(This apparently also works with the DirectX vo as well but I've no
experience with that.)

Cheers,
Jason.
