On Screen Display during slideshows for music (1 Viewer)

[burdell1]

I apologize if this is already in Media Portal and i just missed it, but I think it would be really cool to have a on-screen display (or a bar) across the screen when the song changes that has the album art and the song title, artist name, and album title.

you mean the "Now Playing" view, that can be reached via the Context menu?

i think he means like what mce does - if you're viewing a slideshow and have music playing in the background, when the song changes a little display pops up on the bottom of the screen saying what song is now playing.
here's a picture of it i found on the net:

Exactly, this is something I would definitely like to be included in MP as well! The feature looks great in MCE, as pretty much everything else. Too bad MCE is so limited compared to MP.

Btw, the when viewing a slideshow while listening to MP3:s, the panning and zooming ('Ken Burns effect') is very jumpy. Without music, it's smooth. Hopefully this can be fixed.

I'm running MP 0.2 final and my hardware should definitely be enough. No probs with the same thing in MCE, for instance.
