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.

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?

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.

try messing with the settings in dialogueseekbar.xml if using confluence.

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).

If you have a remote then why not just press play/pause directly and not use the on-screen controls in the first place?

I think he just wants to see the the video paused in full screen without the osd in the way.

Ah, gotcha

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.

Then something is wrong. The osd disappears when you unpause.

**BeesKnees** · 2015-04-18, 03:01

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.

Well that is not how it should be working. Debug log (wiki)

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.

@Bebop_Man Is that this remote? http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/...1637537661

It is rather basic isn't it?

So how are you getting this (space) keypress?

Code:
19:57:54 T:3035729920   DEBUG: OnKey: space (0xf020) pressed, action is Pause

That would be a good guess.
