Player Controls - Quick Show/Hide - Krismyklebust - 2016-01-20
Hi all!
Does anyone know if it's possible to open the "player controls" and have it stay on top of whatever you are browsing. Kind of just have it pop in from the side on a button press, and hide it by pressing the same button or hitting escape?
Just to clarify; I am not looking to open the "now playing"-screen.
This is the player controls I'm referring to.
I found this in the Eminence section of the forums. This is what I'm hoping to do:

Figured it out.
You'll need to edit your keymaps (keyboard.xml). Adding "activatewindow(musicosd)" should do the trick.
Example:
Code:
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<g>activatewindow(musicosd)</g>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>Alternatively, you could install "keymap editor" (add-on found in the Kodi repository), launch that and go to "Global > Windows > Show Music OSD" and set a hotkey through the add-on.

Hello Krismyklebust.
Did you find a way to add it to the skin without editing the keyboard.xml Like pressing "Left"?
Great idea bdw.
Avia.

Hey xAyx!
I am not aware of a way to add this to the skin without editing the keyboard.xml.
Alas, I am no expert
Maybe someone else can chime in to give a better answer?
