Videos playing over logos.

Spooogey

I just did my first scrape. But the videos are playing over the logos and box art. How would I go about fixing this.

If you are using cygnus theme. I got the same problem.

You can go in cygnus\ _res\templates\cygnus.xml and change the video and 3D box position.

Try this (end of the file)

<feature supported="video">

    <view name="video">
         <image name="md_marquee">
            <pos>0.55 0.30</pos>
            <origin>0.44 0.8</origin>
            <maxSize>0.29 0.19</maxSize>
			<zIndex>40</zIndex>
        </image>
        <image name="md_image">
            <origin>0.5 0.5</origin>
            <pos>0.49 0.65</pos>
            <maxSize>0.20 0.4</maxSize>
			<zIndex>40</zIndex>
        </image>
       <video name="md_video">
           <origin>0.5 0.5</origin>
            <pos>0.8 0.6</pos>
            <maxSize>0.43 0.44</maxSize>
            <delay>0.01</delay>
            <default>./../images/static.mp4</default>
            <showSnapshotNoVideo>true</showSnapshotNoVideo>
            <showSnapshotDelay>false</showSnapshotDelay>
			<zIndex>10</zIndex>
        </video>
    </view>
</feature>

Or use a fonction to have your pictures over your video.

Note,: If you are using Universal XML Scraper to do your scraping. With video, don't use Mix option. Use simple, but say yes to video and select marquee logo and default image = 3D Box. Go in advanced config and chose PNG

@DTEAM I'm pretty new to this. How do I find that Cygnus.xml?

Also, thanks for the heads up. I'm using skyscraper though.

I figured it out actually and it ended up working. Thanks!

I was about to create a new topic about this when I saw this thread. This zIndex functionality seems to have been broken in the last ES update (it was working great before). @DTEAM and @Spooogey, can you confirm whether or not your logos still remain on top of the videos in the themes you mentioned above?
In a theme I'm tweaking, I specified highest zIndex for my logo and lower for a video clip and still the video overlaps the logo.
Thank you,

@geekob

If your are using OMX player , your videos will be on top, if you dont use It, you should be ok.

@dteam that worked like a charm, thanks!

@mitu should people be warned that the Z axis or index does not work with the OMX player. Is this an issue to be declared or it is normal with this video player?

It's normal - omxplayer has it's own video layer where videos are played, outside of EmulationStation.

Good to know!
Thank you both @mitu and @DTEAM
