So I currently have a video playing in the background using omxplayer. My goal is to eventually have a button on the dashboard that will play a second video in a window on top of the existing video, so the existing video (which is a very long video) will continue to play while the second video (which is a few seconds) will play overlayed on top of it. Is this possible?
