Some Questions

Ha, I see Jetbrains themselves use vlcj in at least their experimental repo:

I use this video-view, but i can't hover a text above a video, that is my code:

Box(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
                VideoPlayer(url = file.absolutePath, state = state,modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(0.1f))
                Text("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa")
}

result is here:

I don't know anything about that JetBrains code.

What you can do with overlaying text or controls all depends how they've done the vlcj integration.

I'm going to close this as off-topic for now since we don't support other company's projects here. If you find a specific problem related to vlcj, by all means comment back here and this can be re-opened.

As an example see this project and this pull requeset. Using the solution in these you can use a simple box to overlay whatever you want on the video.

You might also want to check https://github.com/open-ani/ani/tree/master/app/shared/video-player/desktop/ui/VideoPlayer.desktop.kt
for a production-level working example (though not very good).
