How to Disable "Now Playing" for Videos? - m_lopez_h - 2010-02-09
I run Alaska on an AppleTV and the now playing window shows up as a blank window for a couple of seconds before the video actually starts playing. I know it likely has to do with the fact that the AppleTV is underpowered.
I have no use for the Now Playing video window (it slows down the system too much), so how do I go about disabling it permanently?

I have an Apple TV and that never happen to me. And how the now playing window could slow down the system exactly ?

The video is loading way too slowly, it does happen but this is why hitcher put in a delay so it shouldn't happen anymore.
Are you using the very latest Alaska git?

I have the same thing on my setup. I doubt it's a power issue as i am using an ION with an N330. It only happends on the alaska skin and for litterally a split second.
I always thought it was because i was not using the latest xbmc, just the one from the ubuntu repos as the previous alaska never did this.

I am using the latest git. All my DVDs are backed up in ISO format and connected from a NAS to the AppleTV via Gigabit switch. Maybe it takes a second more open up an ISO container...I don't know. I'm just looking for a way to disable the now playing video window all together. The skin works fine otherwise...

If you have no need for the 'Now Playing', just delete VideoOverlay.xml
