Is it possible to have the video player have a transparent background?

[srrobin83]

Hello,

While streaming, I like to use this software to play a random, funny video clip from a collection I've made. The problem is, once the video clip has stopped playing, all I have left is a black box for the video player itself. So I have to manually make the source no longer visible, to effectively remove it from my scene. Would it be possible to have the video player have a transparent background? That way when the video stops playing it effectively removes itself from the scene automatically.

Thank you for your time.

Yea I took this into consideration and it kind of does this already but didn't specifically test for it yet.
It's something I want to revisit and it shouldn't be too hard.

Whats the settings you're using when generating your html from the program?

I might be using the program incorrectly, because, I only see the one setting. It asks me if I want it to play one video, and there are no other questions or other settings that I can see. Is there a configuration file I should be looking at, or do I modify the exe file directly for configuration?

Nope, that's what i was looking for!
Just helps me replicate your usage on my side for testing.

Sorry about the late reply, and thank you for looking into this. I was thinking of other possible ways we could effectively have the source be no longer visible in OBS. Without manually making the source no longer visible, of course. Would it be possible to effectively close the browser once the video is done playing? I am not sure how OBS would handle that, but it might have the desired effect? The other option I thought of was: would it be possible to potentially close the video player itself once the video is done playing? Again, I am not sure how OBS would handle it, but perhaps it might have the desired effect?

Anyway, thank you again for looking into this, and I just wanted to share some thoughts I had. Thank you again.
