RED DOT recording state doesn't appear in video fullscreen playing (6 Viewers)

I installed "LastestMediaHandler" on my test system, but made no other changes. The results were:
(1) When not recording, the red dot and the unresolved skin variables no longer appeared.
(2) When recording, the red dot and related info did not appear on any of the OSDs when watching a video, or when watching a channel which was not the one being recorded.
(3) I also noticed that when watching the channel being recorded, the red dot for the pause OSD was on the right, but the red dot for the info OSD was on the left. Would it not be more consistent to put the red dot in the same position on both OSDs? Either place both on the left, or both on the right.

This will happen if the font used in those properties is not available in your font.xml. I use <font>font9</font> - so if there is no font9 in your font.xml, nothing is shown(2) When recording, the red dot and related info did not appear on any of the OSDs when watching a video, or when watching a channel which was not the one being recorded.
OR: LatestMediaHandler is not correct configured to show ongoing recordings
Will change that - I thought it was a good design idea to have the record pin in front of the channel name(3) I also noticed that when watching the channel being recorded, the red dot for the pause OSD was on the right, but the red dot for the info OSD was on the left.

New xmls with correct visibilities (nothing shown when LMH is not installed/activated)

Hmm, had to do some more definitions in different areas to really show the recording data, pls. try the attached xmls
Don´t wonder that there are not only the OSDs, but I also had to define the properties in the main screens as well
xmls deleted, pls. use the newer ones below

As the above is still experimental, I will try to set the properties only once in common.windows.xml to not have the definitions in all main screens.Don´t wonder that there are not only the OSDs, but I also had to define the properties in the main screens as well
As common.windows.xml is called from any main screen, that should be sufficient.
I´m also eperimenting with adding an extra button to the OSDs which then would open an extra window showing the ongoing recordings there instead of a fadelabel in the lower right of the OSDs. What do you think about this approach?
This was the problem.
I had not noticed that the "Plugins" panel in "MP Config" has a "Configure" button.
Tested, and working correctly when LMH is disabled.
But...I noticed that the pause OSD in "Videos" does not show the info for the programme currently recording, whereas the info OSD in "Videos" does show this info.
An oversight?I have not tested these yet.

Not sure if this is related but I have seen some weird things when playing recordings that are in progress or when something else is recording. The attached screenshot 1 shows the skip OSD during the playback of a recording in progress (note no name). Screenshot 2 shows the skip OSD from an earlier recording (Kommisar Maigret) which shows a name, from the previous playback, i.e. the wrong one! Sorry but I have not found a way of reliably reproducing the problem, not sure what the circumstances are that produce the error but it comes up quite often.
