    I wanted to use an animated image when pausing video in fullscreen but I ran into two problems preventing me from realizing my vision.
    The first and biggest problem was that the animation object doesn't seem to respond to the <visible> tag. Therefore it is visible at all times and not only during pause. The second problem I ran into was estetical. When using a looping animation there is a short glitch at the beginning of each loop which gives the animation a very uneven and low quality look.

    Does anybody know of solutions to these two problems or is this something that has to be fixed in code?

    Hi Raven, :)

    if you will use an animated image when pausing video in fullscreen, you must use a gif animation.
    Because the animation engine in mp is not finished, they work at the moment only if you start a screen, in the example with the fullscreen xml.
    If you place a animation into the video fullscreen xml it starts if you go in fullscreen. You can not start it with a focus or a command.

    Smirnuff have not finished it, and now he has leave mp.
    So we can not use the animation with commands or with a focusfunktion.

    It´s a big losing for us skinners and all mp friends that we have lost smirnuff. He have made so great things and would make so much more great things for skinning, but now the evolution is broken. :cry:

    Greetings Harley

    Thanks for the information. I guess I have to abandon my idea and think of another solution.

    I didn't know Smirnoff had left the community. Why did he?
