Other WPF controls are unable to overlay StreamPlayerControl #41

Is there a way to place other controls over StreamPlayerControl? No matter which ZIndex property is set, stream overwrites them (is that a problem of using hWnd pointer of a parent window to draw frames?).

No, sorry, the current implementation doesn't support this. The reason you mentioned is correct.

Found a general solution to add elements over hwnd hosted by an HwndHost. For now, checked only TextBlock image

Cool! Do you have to change the control to achieve this behavior?

vzhadeyev commented 6 years ago

Only a little bit. VideoWindow should be packed into HwndHostPresenter (helper class from mentioned solution). HwndHostPresenter can be used as control which Adornment property is your overalaying UI elements. I had no time to dive deep into solution, may be its author can provide more information.

Your project is very lightweight solution which helped to drop memory usage per single stream from 30Mb with VLC to 3-5Mb with WebEye. Thank you for that, waiting for improvements!
