It is just just a glitch but wanna fix it.
In Gentoo + Plasma 5, I noticed no moving cursor shows on top of movie area when movie is playing in VLC and Dragon Player.
I found this post online without answer http://superuser.com/questions/939415/vlc-media-player-show-mouse-cursor-on-the-top-of-the-video

Is there anyone having this same glitch.
If there is a fix, Please.....

"Extra mouse" a.k.a extramaus

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <X11/cursorfont.h>
#include <X11/extensions/shape.h>

// Include the mouse cursor xbm directly
#define mouse_width 12
#define mouse_height 21
static unsigned char mouse_bits[] = {
   0x01, 0x00, 0x03, 0x00, 0x07, 0x00, 0x0f, 0x00, 0x1f, 0x00, 0x3f, 0x00,

Compile with: gcc extramaus.c -o extramaus -lX11 -lXext -g

Assign some key to activate the program whenever you need it.

edit:

Can you try using some other cursor theme ?

For example I use this one http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Bridge?content=164587 and is stored in [/usr/share/icons/Bridge].

Update your global gtkrc /usr/share/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
Code:
gtk-cursor-theme-name="Bridge"


Logout and login to test your new cursor theme.

thanks for replay, sorry for late response.
I changed many cursor themes and reboots, but not works.

Honestly, I haven't tried your codes (extramaus) because I want to wait next updates and see if it is fixed or not.
Later, when I really want to get it fixed, I will try compile your codes, thanks you.

Hi, I notice this problem also and upgrading to vlc-2.2.2 fixed it for me. It is currently in ~arch, so you'll need to keyword it.
