   I am fairly sure this is not possible on Unix, and doubt very much
that it can be done on Windows or OS X. The Mozilla plugin is handled
its own window in which to draw, and anything the browser further draws
in this area will actually be drawn _under_ the window, hence invisible.

   If you need to display additional information on top of the video,
that should be done by VLC only. Then you can add JavaScript hooks to
these features in the Mozilla plugin so that they can be accessed by a
webpage.
