Seems playvideo is on top of everything.

I tested it with render2d front and back, manual swapping etc.
It even plays irrespective of if you even call swap or sync.

It would be a hell of a lot more use (or any use at all) to be able to put it behind other things.

Currently, video is played in its own 'frame' and always on top. It isn't part of the Sync() cycle stuff.

I gathered that. Surely it has little or no use in it's current form?

I guess it's useful for that. Just not for the things I want to use it for

One of the desired features listed in the AppGameKit survey that TGC asked the community to complete was for supporting video frames on sprites, which would open up many more possibilities. If you haven't yet completed that survey please do so TGC knows what the community is after most.

I finally found a use for video (on windows only).

However, it only works in a windowed app, not fullscreen.

Also oddly, if I ALT-F4, then the video disappears. ALT-F4 again and the app closes.

I'm on beta 8 - did something get fixed?

Alt + F4 is the windows shortcut for "close window"

Of course pressing it will close your windows. Once for the video window, then for your app.
