Hi, I'm looking at ways to place a widget 'MPlayerEmbed' within a widget 'Layout' that need to see in one container, a video with mplayer and an image on the video. My problem is that when I put the widget 'MPlayerEmbed' into the widget 'Layout', the videos are not seen. I tried loading the widget 'MozEmbed' within a widget 'layout' and I do not see the browser. Here this my code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use Glib qw/TRUE FALSE/;
use Gtk2 '-init';
use Gtk2::Ex::MPlayerEmbed;

# Create Main Window
my $window = Gtk2::Window->new('toplevel');
$window->set_border_width(0);
$window->set_decorated(0);
$window->set_position('center-always');
$window->set_title('Player');
$window->signal_connect( destroy => sub { Gtk2->main_quit; } );
$window->set_default_size(1024, 768);


my $vbox = Gtk2::VBox->new(0, 0);
$vbox->set_border_width(0);

# Create a Fixed Container
my $layout = Gtk2::Layout->new();
$layout->set_size (1024, 768);
$vbox->add($layout);
$window->add($vbox);
$vbox->show_all;

# Create MPLAYER Widget
my $mpe = Gtk2::Ex::MPlayerEmbed->new();
$mpe->set('args', $mpe->get('args').' -vo xv');

$layout->put($mpe, 0, 0);

$mpe->play('path_to_video.mp4');
$mpe->show_all;

$window->show_all;

main Gtk2;

I noticed that both (MPlayerEmbed and MozEmbed) are not shown because they are reduced to the size of 1x1. I have not succeeded find a way to put inside a layout widget, a widget MozEmbed or MPlayerEmbed. I hope I understand and I can help. Thanks.
