Watermark - Transparent PNGs

Support for Transparent PNG would be welcome!

You can edit include/player.inc to change watermark image from GIF to PNG.

Thanks. But when uploading a watermark, the script fails indicating that a .GIF file is the only supported format.

This is custom modification, so you will need to upload the watermark image with FTP. If you can edit player.inc, it will not be a big task to upload the watermark image with FTP.

While it's not a big task to upload via FTP, that sort of defeats the purpose of having an admin screen for doing so. :D

That's why I posted it in feature requests in the first place -- it seems cumbersome to have an interface that allows you to only upload a single file type for a watermark.

This can be done in admin, for that (selecting png/gif watermark by user), we need an extra database field, read it every time to see if watermark is PNG or GIF, then display it.

Doing this process need cpu time, memory, it is not much, but for high traffic site, it will adds up. Do we need to use up extra memory for a rarely used feature ? Watermark image for most are set and forget feature, used only one time.

include/player.inc
