Video skin question

**ryanerb** · 12-21-2006, 11:26 PM

I'm looking at the video skin and i am not seeing any specs that start with an A for application. The skin .jpg is smaller and fits at the bottom of the screen and reserves the top for the video. But i dont see the video reserved spot in the .skin file. Can you tell me where it is? Also, if i wanted to have text OVER the video, how could i do this? Obviously create a label, but i guess i need to create a label relative to the coordinates of the video window, not the .jpg window. let me know if this is too confusing. feel free to ask clarifying questions.

Also, where is the file that actually launches the video player? not the menu.skin though.

the .skin file...

Well there should be the following in the video_player.skin

A01,200,42,600,500,192
C01,200,42,600,500

for it to work. Although I suppose if you don't have that when it first loads the video will be hidden until it skin disappears for the video to become full screen.

text over the video cannot be done (as far as I am aware)

to launch the video it is normally in the menu.skin and the command is video

id like to know this also. Im trying to make some ... clever mods for video player but it wont work as I cant get a secondary skin to load play the video

video will only play in the video_player.skin.

if you set dualmon=true in rr.ini then video will continue to play once you have left the video_player.skin as long as you don't go to audio_player.skin or radio_player.skin
