The Windows 10 Creator's Update brought the Compact Overlay aka Picture in Picture. This is a really cool feature and it would be nice to see it in the app.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information

Looks like Tim has this done in the vs2017-rc branch. It will require master to bump up to a higher Windows 10 target version... I'm guessing from my own experience that doing so is breaking some stuff, but I'm not sure.

Feel free to cherry pick and open a merge request ;-)

I've used his commits as a guide, and I think I'm close...
This may not be the best way to approach it, but I was thinking maybe a Video Setting that allows toggling between the traditional PiP mode (video in lower right corner of VLC window) and the new Windows 10 compact overlay. The setting only appears on Windows where the Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationViewMode.CompactOverlay enum is present based on the ApiInformation call.
Edit: The only odd issue I'm having is that when the video finishes playing without intervention, the mode changes back correctly, but the main VLC window doesn't regain focus in the OS (which may be a good thing if people don't like getting interrupted)...

Sure.

Can you open a merge request here from your fork? Let me know if you can't and have to be added as a contributor or something.
Thank you in advance for all your time in this functionality.
It is the features that are most lacking in vlc.

Why does not this switch be made automatically according to the Win10 version?
Why you will prefer PiP over Compact Overlay?
Doesn't look like I have access to create a merge request. It won't let me fork either. Can you add me? Or I can just break it down into several commits and upload here as patches if that's safer since I probably don't need super high level access to the repo.
Thanks. Got it forked and am testing some changes. I'll open a merge request in the next day or so. Just to be clear, it's NOT going to do any automatic merging or anything like that without your (or someone else's) approval, right? I'm a relative Git noob and I don't want to break anything. :-)
