What is it that you need to look at all the time, which would preclude opening the GUI window on another desktop, or simply minimising the window? Is the documentation and support information here insufficient for your needs? You haven't explained why your particular requirement is so unusual. https://www.videolan.org/support/ There are various user forums where you can ask your specific question, and a means of reporting bugs. Bear in mind that this is open source software provided free of charge and you are not likely to find a telephone helpline or visiting consultant available. -- Joe
