Well, in that case maybe they all should be reported as bugs
I was just thinking that a video window would consume system resources.
Haha
yeah good point(s). Having said that I've just installed MP System Info (there's a screenshot of it on the BleazleWide skin thread) and I don't see very much difference in RAM usage when I stop a window playing in that screen...I was suprised that killing the now playing window wasn't as straight forward as I thought it would be but there are a couple of wierd things like that in MP - for example I tried moving the "box" which holds the thumbnail images in the MYVideos plugin and that totally screwed up the spin controls (I put up a post on that about a month ago and didn't get any responses - what can you do?
) - sometimes coming up with workarounds is the most expedient way to go...Dave

Hi
thats not a bug or anything else, it is only done different in different screens in Blue3 (and your skin is in most cases a mod of Blue3)
In all screens you can set the overlay to yes or no with the overlayline on top of the xml, but in the videoscreens, musicscreens, picturescreens and screens like playlists and tvguide, there are the overlay are set in the xml´s self, you find them on the end of the xml´s. Thats in this screens, because we use there different visibles for like visible by Listview, or by iconview or by filmstripview.
So if you don´t want have a overlay in this special screens , you must delete the stuff in each of the xml´s.
Setting the stuff out of screen, is not a realy good way and i not realy know a place in Blue3 that works in that wrong way.

The first thing I tried was deleting the all of the code that refers to the "Now playing rectangle, Pause.png etc" and I still got the bug referred to earlier when jumping from the LiveTV screen (not fullscreen) to MYVideos using the remote. I also tried leaving the code in place and using !facadeview.list etc but that didn't fix it either
As you say the Bleazle skin is just a mod of Blue3Wide so if you are able to tell me which code to change to stop this happening that would be great.
Also, I PM'd you about a month ago regarding this issue https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/skins-50/development-question-thumbnail-panel-positioning-myvideos-53010/ Do you know if there is a way to fix this?
Cheers
