IVideoPlugin and the MVP

[Spartan]

I am working on my SportsScores ticker functionality, and I have a proof-of-concept working fine on the PC (see image), but it does not display on the MVP.

Is there something special I have to do for this?

Was IVideoPlugin made to play nice with the MVP?

It should work with the MVP. It did last time I tried it.

I'm an idiot. I spent two hours tracking this down and it comes down to the fact that I forgot to set the <VideoPlugin4> node in the config.xml file on my MVP box. :o

Move along here people -- nothing to see here.......

I'm glad I am not alone with that one then! :p

Back to the topic of IVideoPlugin and the MVP, is there a way to show something on the screen while a video is playing and NOT have the whole screen go dim? At first I thought it might be a problem with my skin, but I have changed some things around in there and cannot seem to display my ticker on the MVP while at the same time keep the video displaying in its normal brightness.

Do you have the 'fully transparent OSD' option selected in the config app? Did you clear the background using IPluginHelper.GetOSDTransparentColor()? If you did both of these, then it should dim the background.

I'll have to check that when I get home. Note that I do not want the background dimmed (your post seemed backward to me -- but I will try it later tonight)
