Overlay Video Statistics

Sorry if I should have been able to find this somewhere, I searched and was unsuccessful.

Is it possible to display statistics such as number of dropped frames as an overlay while watching a video using xbmc for ATV?

Hi,

It's possible with some tweaking of the keymaps. I have put the following in my /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/keymaps/joystick.AppleRemote.xml

Code:

<keymap>

  <FullscreenVideo>

    <joystick name="AppleRemote">

      <!-- Up            --> <button id="1">BigStepForward</button>

      <!-- Down          --> <button id="2">BigStepBack</button>

      <!-- Left          --> <button id="3">StepBack</button>

      <!-- Right         --> <button id="4">StepForward</button>

      <!-- Select        --> <button id="5">OSD</button>

      <!-- Menu          --> <button id="6">Stop</button>

      <!-- Select (long) --> <button id="7">CodecInfo</button>

      <!-- Menu (long)   --> <button id="8"></button>

      <!-- Right (long)  --> <button id="10">FastForward</button>

      <!-- Left (long)   --> <button id="11">Rewind</button>

      <!-- Play          --> <button id="12">Pause</button>

      <!-- Play (long)   --> <button id="13"></button>

    </joystick>

  </FullscreenVideo>

</keymap>

The "CodecInfo" is what you're looking for, it'll show details about audio/video incl dropped frames. My setup shows it if I hold the middle button down. You can change this to another button if needed.
Credits go to the original poster of this keymap, didn't find him on search either. Tongue

This also enables the "big" seeking in 10min steps by using the up/down buttons on the remote.
