Possible to show bottom-left thumb video?
#1
when a video is playing fullscreen, the user can put it in the background and display the py script instead. the video is still playing but you hear the audio only. im talking about the functionality in the movie section, it will show the movie in a very small video control/window in the bottom left corner when i go around the menus.

is it possible to have a similar functionality in a python scripts, so the user can move around in the script menu and still see the video?

hmmmm. it didnt go as good as i hoped it would. when i create a windowdialog and display it (nothing at all in the init), then my xbox freezes, ie cant do anything but seeing the "running..." loop around under the script. (need to power off the xbox to get it going again
but when i change from windowdialog to window, then it displays as it should and does not freeze the xbox.

i cant get the pokerii running either, so i cant really see how it works.

im using the 060421 cvs build, is this a known problem perhaps?

i just downloaded to make sure and it works fine. i'm using the latest cvs.

i'm sure you copied the whole folder over.

there might be a problem with the date of build your runningHuh

hmmm, i got a cvs build that was built 060515 and i cant get it to run properly. im still not sure that i got a good build.
when i open up the systeminfo, i see that it says "xbmc version 1.1.0 (compiled: may 15 2006)". what version are you running?
{edit add below}
when i look at the python output i says:
Quote:file "q...poker timer ii.py", line 54, in ?
import xml.dom.ext
importerror: no module named ext
error in atexit,exitfuncs:
traceback(most recen call last):
file "q:\system\python\python24.xlib\atexit.py", line 24, in exitfunc
file "q:\system\python\python24.xlib\threading.py", line 522,
in __delete
keyerror: 12
...
some of the above trace may be copied wrong, as i had to do a manual copy. is there no way of getting the python error as a file in xbmc?

the version would be the same.

if you turn full debugging on, it will print it in the log.

do you have the support libraries installed in system/python/lib?

that's the new place for them.

support libraries? now i dont know what you are talking about, im currently at work so i have to check the build zip (cant go into the xbox) and i cant see a /system/python/lib folder in it. is this something that i have to add manually?

this is what my /system/python looks like:

yes you need /system/python/lib/

go here for the link to darkdonno's quicktime-lite. it has some files you'll need. copy the contents of _xmlpluz.zip there. use only with newer xbmc builds.

then get pil python image library and put that in there also.
