how to remove black background ?

[innlight]

hi guys, i need to remove the black background from videoplayback. i need to see the video and the desktop or i need to reproduce the video in a frame window.
How i can do? thanks

In the omxplayer manpage, I see:

     -b  --blank[=0xAARRGGBB]    Set the video background color to black (or optional ARGB value)
         --win x1,y1,x2,y2       Set position of video window

I guess these could help here? --blank=0x00000000 should get you a transparent background (e.g. for the borders outside of the video, not the video itself). Or you can use something like --win 860,540,1920,1080 to show the video in the lower right corner only (assuming 1920x1080 resolution).

In any case, this seems to be more of an omxplayer question than an omxplayer-wrapper question, though.
