Is there a way to auto-hide the control bar while watching a video? - BubbaLovesTv - 2014-05-02 Hi, Long story short, Is there a way for the "control bar" to auto-hide after say, 5 seconds? And by control bar, i mean the bar at the bottom of the screen with the STOP, PAUSE, FF, REWIND, buttons etc..... And YES, I know it can be removed by pressing a button on my remote, but I am asking if there is an AUTO-HIDE feature?. Thanks. RE: Is there a way to auto-hide the control bar while watching a video? - helta - 2014-05-02 Are your bringing up the guide and then wanting it to hide after 5 seconds? Or are you saying the guide is always there and you have to hit a button to get rid of it? RE: Is there a way to auto-hide the control bar while watching a video? - BubbaLovesTv - 2014-05-02 While watching a video, I often bring up the guide to PAUSE and PLAY again. I'm asking if the guide could automatically hide again after a few seconds. It is not there when I start watching a video, i bring it up. RE: Is there a way to auto-hide the control bar while watching a video? - helta - 2014-05-02 try messing with the settings in dialogueseekbar.xml if using confluence.

I'm asking if the guide could automatically hide again after a few seconds. There are keyboard commands for pause and play. I'm pretty sure using the spacebar will pause and play a video without bringing up the OSD. If you're using a remote, you can either assign the key press to a remote button or see if your remote behaves like a MCE remote (in which case I think there are generic MCE mappings that will work). RE: Is there a way to auto-hide the control bar while watching a video? - Ned Scott - 2014-05-03 If you have a remote then why not just press play/pause directly and not use the on-screen controls in the first place? RE: Is there a way to auto-hide the control bar while watching a video? - helta - 2014-05-03 I think he just wants to see the the video paused in full screen without the osd in the way. RE: Is there a way to auto-hide the control bar while watching a video? - Ned Scott - 2014-05-04 Ah, gotcha RE: Is there a way to auto-hide the control bar while watching a video? - Bebop_Man - 2015-04-18 I have the same question. I don't use a keyboard or a mouse, unless I have to perform some type of admin task. 90% of my interaction with that PC is through the remote. In the course of watching a video, I often have to pause the playback. When I press the button on my remote, the OSD appears. When I resume playback, the OSD remains on the screen until I press the 'back' button. Re: Is there a way to auto-hide the control bar while watching a video? - nickr - 2015-04-18 Then something is wrong. The osd disappears when you unpause. RE: Is there a way to auto-hide the control bar while watching a video? - BeesKnees - 2015-04-18 Nope. If the bottom controls come up the OSD remains. On the FTV if you hit pause then play on the remote they do not come up.

Debug log (wiki) RE: Is there a way to auto-hide the control bar while watching a video? - Bebop_Man - 2015-04-18 My log: http://xbmclogs.com/pelbcm0sn I'm wondering now if it's an issue with my remote. This is the basic Odroid remote I got with my C1, and there is not a play/pause button, just an OK, and that seems to function the same as ENTER on the keyboard. RE: Is there a way to auto-hide the control bar while watching a video? - nickr - 2015-04-18 @Bebop_Man Is that this remote? http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G141637537661 It is rather basic isn't it? So how are you getting this (space) keypress?
