[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 495316, member: 27204"] Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me there are problems with Media Overlays: 1. They don't display when the facade is not in focus (i.e. when you go to a sliding menu) 2. Player.hasaudio and Player.hasvideo conditions do nothing 3. Radio plays a videooverlay (this can result in numerous problems!) I believe these problems result from the way visualizations have been implemented. I think that is why there is a videopreview window in MusicOverlay.xml and why Radio streams play as video. Which is probably why player.hasaudio and player.hasvideo do nothing since all media are both! You can create and import your own overlays, which work well in most cases, but not with streaming Radio (including the great RadioTime plugin.) Some skins use their own overlays with a condition on #Play.Current.Album since only Music has Albums. However, some Radio stations stream the station name as Album and some do not. When they don't a flashing video window appears in the overlay! I have posted a bugreport [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/bugreports-74/media-overlay-bugs-68630/[/url] about player.hasaudio and player.hasvideo conditions not working correctly in the hope we can get some developer to see if this can be fixed.
