Req Display video as a background
#1
Is it possible to display a video as the background when browsing your TV or Movies list?

For images you use the multi image control, but I cannot see any way of doing it for videos.

If it is not possible, this would be a nice feature request

Just use the videowindow control in the background.

Cool, that sounds obvious now you say it. Will give it a try thanks.

It was not quite what I needed as for some reason it always seems to play in the foreground.

This is perhaps closer: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=157585 so hopefully that find's its way in

Where did you put the code?

Just after the MulitImage control that would display the Fanart images when available. Perhaps I did something wrong as the effect I was after was for it to go immediately to the background.

I have only tried with Eminence so far, though I could try xperience1080++ if need be. It's 99% there in that if I back up our of full screen mode it does what I expected at the start and shows it in the background
