[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1253217, member: 141969"] I have seen both of these occurrences, but not in your circumstances (so that is new knowledge). :) In "Videos", it is possible for the programme name to be the name of a previously-played programme. This happens when the file being played is a DVR-MS or WTV file. I agree that this is not going to be a common occurrence, but it indicates that there is a path through the code that allows the built-in skin variable to be unset, and the variable retains its previous value. If the previous value was the null string (the value at MP start-up), no programme name is displayed; in other cases the wrong name is displayed. :( The case I describe above is a skin-engine or MP client fault. Your case could be a similar skin-engine or MP client fault, or incorrect mark-up in the skin file (the visibility conditions in the OSDs are fiendishly complex, and this is not helped by the OSDs being anomalous in several behaviours, compared to other panels). :cry: -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
