One question though, is there a way to remove the black transparent blacked-out effect covering the currently playing video in the background (at least in the Movie/TV Shows Library)? Some videos get weird effects from having the blacked-out effect covering some of my BD/DVD Menu Videos playing in place of the Background Art.
Hi BkacTiger
To remove the black overlay do following. Download a free xml editor or notepad++ if you have it installed.
Next open the file
myvideonav.xml in the 720p folder of the skin.
Use search function in editor and search for word
livebg.
Below
livebg you should see following code.
PHP Code:
<control type="image">
<left>0</left>
<top>0</top>
<width>1280</width>
<height>720</height>
<texture>black.png</texture>
<colordiffuse>C3FFFFFF</colordiffuse>
<include>Animation_Fade</include>
<visible>Player.HasVideo + !Skin.HasSetting(fullscreentrailer) | Control.IsVisible(69) + Container.Content(episodes)
+ Skin.HasSetting(plepthumb)</visible>
</control>
We want to comment out that code so it doesnt get read. We do that by placing
<!-- above and
--> below it as follows.
PHP Code:
<!--
<control type="image">
<left>0</left>
<top>0</top>
<width>1280</width>
<height>720</height>
<texture>black.png</texture>
<colordiffuse>C3FFFFFF</colordiffuse>
<include>Animation_Fade</include>
<visible>Player.HasVideo + !Skin.HasSetting(fullscreentrailer) | Control.IsVisible(69) + Container.Content(episodes)
+ Skin.HasSetting(plepthumb)</visible>
</control>
-->
Once you done that save file and reload skin by rebooting kodi or changing to a different skin and back to aeon mq to see changes.
If you want the video playing in background on main menu also, Press
S on keyboard on main menu and set
vis(video) to on. You can then disable the now playing panel the little square box with video playing on top left of main menu in skin setttings if you wish.
Hope that helps
