Thank you for that. I shall give that a try at the weekend.

I've also had a bit of success using Group and StackLayout/GridLayout. If the videowindow is simply used as a preview panel and not a control (i.e. no other controls navigate to it), I can do something like this:

Layout :
Button1 Button2 Button3

Video window is placed directly behind Button2

Button 2 is not visible unless video is playing, and has no textures. It has action 18 (Video full screen)

Then there is an image control overlaid the Video window which is visible when Button2 has focus for the video focused frame highlight

Oh and animations do sort-of work with the video window it seems. The live TV is always rendered at the starting coordinates of the control but the black box can be shifted when the video is not playing. I've done something like this:

<animation effect="slide" end="0,-1000" time="1000">Hidden</animation>
<visible>Player.HasVideo</visible>

I will post the full code once I have had time to finish it.
