StandardSkin: Remove OSD Summary Field (1 Viewer)

[heikoh]

Hi everyone,

I would like to customize the standard MP 0.2.3 skin.

During Playback I very often press Y to get the time bar at top of screen (to see how many minutes are remaining).
However, at the bottom left corner of the screen, there always also appears an info box. This box normaly displays the DVB-EPG information, but when playing back video files, there usually is no text associated, so this box remains empty (=blue), overlaying almost 1/3 of the picture.

Is there a way to comment out that info box in the XML-files of the skin?
So that only the status bar at top of the screen is displayed if Y is pressed?
This way I could have the OSD status bar displayed all the time

I'm not that familiar with the Skin definitions, so any hints where and what to look for are very much appreciated.


Best regards,

Heiko

The file your looking for is "TVOSD.xml", But if you remove it for play back of recored shows you will also remove the EPG info when "live" because this file is used for both.

But you may have to place the un-needed info off screen. by changing its x,y postion.

      <posX>650</posX>
      <posY>40</posY>

Hi Forgotten Illustrator,

thanks for your reply.
In the meantime I have also found out that commenting out some lines in the "videoosd.xml" does exactly what I need.

I now only have to timebar at the top of my screen, both on videos and recorded TV Shows.
Now it's exactly as I like, as for summaries I have actually never used the OSD EPG, I'm always using www.tvtv.de for that

MP is just great, especially everything is OpenSource and you can modify it just the way you like


Best regards,

Heiko
