Hi list, I have a plug-in with hardware enabled video acceleration. So, the video is being rendered to a window which is at the very back (there are other surfaces created on top of this window).
I added some prints in SurfaceFlinger to check which surfaces are being created and destroyed. When the plug-in is running, I see 2 active surfaces both of which are owned by the browser process: 1. surface-A of size 1280x672 (am assuming this is entire browser window) 2. surface-B of size 734x432 (created by the plug-in itself) I've set up the alpha value of surface-B to 0 (complete transparency) so that anything behind can be seen. But, it seems that surface-A is blocking (between the video window and the plug-in surface) and hence can't see the video which is being rendered at the very end. Some questions: 1. Does the browser know that the video is being h/w accelerated and hence set its surface around this window to have full transparency? 2. If the above is not possible can I force the alpha values in surface-A to have complete transparency? or can i cut a hole in surface-A?
