[vlc-devel] libvlc set parent question

[jboileau]

Hi Pierre,

The output window is DirectX. If I use libvlc_video_set_parent the video
plays in the window I pass to it. If I use libvlc_media_instance_set_drawable
instead it doesn't work, I get the standard DirectX output window in which
the video plays and my window remais blank.

At least I have one way of doing what I need, which is fine for me.
