HI, video window positioning not working in pi 64bit VLC player

usually in pi 32bit for omxplayer we usually did video window positioning on-screen by the following code:

--win x1,y1,x2,y2     #to Set position of video window  for omxplayer

but in pi 64bit as omxplayer is not available, we have only VLC as default in pi and omxplayer does not support 64bit. As per VLC documentation ( https://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help/ ) video window can be set using the following:

  --width=<integer>          #Video width
  --height=<integer>        #Video height
  --video-x=<integer>     # Video X coordinate
  --video-y=<integer>       #Video Y coordinate

but this is not available in pi 64bit VLC player. when the above command is given nothing happens.

This seems to be a bug since 9 years and it looks like it´s fixed in VLC 4.0. https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/9931

But since VLC 4.0 will not be released in the near future it would be great if the bugfix could be backported into the RPi variant of VLC 3.0.
