Updating the values for --mmal-vout-window (video size and position) at runtime #56

With omxplayer, I was able to change the video size and position at runtime. I started omxplayer with the --win argument and afterwards, via D-Bus, I was able to change the size and position without stopping the video.

On bullseye, I’m now using the following VLC command to place the video on specific position on the screen:

cvlc -f --no-audio --no-osd --no-video-title-show --loop \
    --mmal-vout-transparent --mmal-vout-window 1440x810+480+270 "$url"

This works as expected, but is there a way to change the video position and size without restarting VLC?
