[GEM-dev] Can't play transparent videos

[Antonio Roberts]

Hi Antoine,

I've tried each file (hap, png, vp9 encoded) with gem_filmAVI,
gem_filmAVIPLAY, gem_filmQT4L, gem_filmMPEG3, gem_filmMPEG1.

Per the instructions on this report
https://github.com/umlaeute/Gem/issues/239 I have removed gmerlin.

Is this the same ass here? https://github.com/avilleret/gem-mpv if so
I've tried this as well and can't get transparency (see this bug
report https://github.com/avilleret/gem-mpv/issues/4 )
