TTY really feels like home to me.

- "Window Manager": tmux
- Video in top left corner: mplayer framebuffer mode.
- Stuff you already know

[EDIT]: More detailled explainations if needed:
[EDIT2]: Simpler workflow.
[EDIT3]: Function to right-align

I open TTY, in it I login as normal user and startx tmux (or DVTM).

In a shell with enough priviledges, I start the video. Do it with normal user if it can have access to framebuffer (audio + video group?) or with sudo otherwise:


The video should now be small in the top left hand corner of the screen. You can setup the tmux panes to have the terminal playing the video just under the small video.

But if we want to use w3m, we need its tmux pane to be at the top left corner, or the images will be shifted, as it does not recognise the position of the pane.

Solution (fixed):


This will take two arguments: a number (the size) and the video name, in any order. It will put the video in the top riht hand corner, or if no size specified, it will play the video scaled to fullscreen.

Result:
