VLC doesn't handle alpha channels.

I use videos with alpha, and regular media source will sometimes crash while playing these in some scenarios. Crashes with 200+ viewers makes me nervous to use video with alpha, but I have lots of videos with alpha. OBS standard was pretty good with these. Is there a solution to this in studio? Can VLC do it? What is the best workflow for video with alpha in studio?

Thanks guys, keep rocking!

Bumping with intent to provide AVI with alpha channel if @Osiris never got a sample to test.

When I use an AVI (RGB+Alpha, 32-bit) the alpha channel is replaces with a chroma key green (00ff00). I think this may be an issue with VLC as the player does the same thing.

Attempts to color or chroma key the green out are less than spectacular, primarily whites becoming green.

Edit: linking 7z'd AVI from G-Docs. Beware decompressed its 2.5GB.
