Hi There
Could anybody shine some light on this problem i am having
Topbar or any other tool bars do not show up when playing videos.
Im using it throug a touch screen so its not just a case of me pressing the escape key.
I downloaded (touch-it ) Virtual keyboard and created three buttons 1. an escape key 2. volume up 3. volume down . I thought this would solve it but it still stays behind fullscreen.
Please help me out if any knows the solution to my from

I think this is a bug in MP 1.0.2 version perhaps in some of the earlier versions too? But it will be fixed for the MP 1.1.0 version...

thats a shame

Thanks for the info pussywagon
if its been fixed in version 1.01 would be nice if a fix could be applied to 1.0.2
I have spent ages getting things running how i like them.
Never mind looks like i will just have to go back to that version because like i said im using a touch screen so
i really need to navigate whilst in full screen.
What i did try and it worked for my videos is to use an external player (window media player 11) which you get a menu bar at bottom and you can easyly close it .

But the problem is i cant get an external player to work for web streaming videos .
is there any way to get an external player to work for streamed vids ?
Many tyhanks

Can you perform a "Right click" with the touch screen? If so, you get a menu with an item for "Previous window".

yessss

Nice on leon
I configured the touch screen to do auto right click (hold it down for 3 seconds
Thanks
I have been playing around with OSD files from black & white 1080 skin to see if i can get the traditional controls to work but no need know

Have you ticked 'show special mouse controls (scroll bars, etc)' in configuration -->general? This will give you video control options.

I've got a touchscreen too, but it doesn't have a 3sec right mouse button feature. What software do you use for that?
My solution was to add volume and a right mouse click buttons to the topbar and OSD (since topbar will not work in fullscreen video until version 1.1.0). See this post.

uummmm intresting

Hi bloasfist
Thanx for that, i will experiment with that later this evening ,would be good to get the volume controls
within mp has i have made buttons with external virtual keyboard.
The name of the software i use for my touch screen is touchkit , dont know if that would work on your but worth a go .

Try ELO drivers... this is what im using, also working with Right Click feature!

How did you make the Volume buttons to work? I have tried this, want to have these buttons on my basic home screen but I cant get it to work!
Also i dont get the Volume bar when pressing "-" and "=" on my keyboard either so is there anything I have to enable to get the volume buttons to work?
