Title says it all. I play a video and it takes the whole screen (which is fine, it's what I want is full screen video playback) but it shows over top of all my sprites. I would like to place a few sprites on top of the video.

Unfortunately the video plays on a separate surface to OpenGL so we can't mix the content.

Would it be possible to split up Sync() and use DrawSprite() before Swap() to make this work? Saw your post regarding the text issue.

Unfortunately not, the video has it's own render pipeline that is handled by the OS. Think of it as like a second back buffer that is overlaid on top of the OpenGL back buffer when presented to the screen.

Rendering video to an image would be SO cool.

That is definitely something I want to do at some point as it makes video much more useful, although we would have to increase the minimum supported version to 4.1 on Android. I'll have a think about it.

According to my Google Play statistics, only 2.22% of my users are on less than Android 4.1. I'd be willing to sacrifice those for the benefit of video textures Maybe add it as an option?

Found this feature to be quite useless without being able to overlay.
Being able to direct the video to an image object would be fantastic.
