Painting over video in Qt widget

Question

I am developing a Qt application that can play videos and shows scrolling along the way. Window size MUST NOT exceed the limit of 720 pixels in height and 1280 in width. I use MPlayer as a subordinate process and pass winId () QWidget to it, and it displays the video in it. Now I want another widget on top of this video widget to show some results all the time, but placing a shortcut widget on top of the widget containing the video does not serve the purpose, as it becomes a multiple-drawn video. Any workaround? Suggestions for this?

Answer 1

When using MPlayer in this way, I think the best option would be to create a second window.

Here are some ways you could take from here: a method that may not work on some versions / configurations of Xorg is to have the second window be the same size as the first and place it directly on top of the other (<with mechanism move another window when moving) and make the window transparent, except for your controls (transparency is a problem with some versions of X, check out some examples of this example at labs.trolltech.com).
