  • Unfortunately not. It puzzles me a bit that this is so hard to achieve. Mplayer manages to do it, but has other problems which makes it useless. Commented Jan 13, 2016 at 14:39
  • Could you run just xprop on both vlc and mplayer? That should display properties of their windows - there's a chance you could copy something off mplayer that will do the trick. Commented Jan 13, 2016 at 14:56
  • Running with -noborder option on mplayer shows the motif hints: 0x3, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0. Running VLC with the options above results in 0x3, 0x3e, 0x7e, 0x0, 0x0. Changing the hints doesn't really do much. I see that VLC receives a resize event, but thats it :( Commented Jan 13, 2016 at 15:52
