Sorry, I dont have any code sample for you, but it should just be a matter of calling PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().ShowInsetAtLocation(rect) when activate is called. If nothing is playing, this call will do nothing, otherwise it'll show the visualisation or video rect in that location.

I cant remember, but you may also need to call HideInset() in the deactivate() method.

cool. thanks

If doesnt work for you, let me know and I'll double check.

it does not i'm afraid... still get
VERBOSE [1] videoInsetVisible = false
in the log...

hmm, can you try the following:

Add a member variable:

Code:

private bool forceInsetUpdate = false;

Set to 'true' in activate() function

Code:

forceInsetUpdate = true;

Add this as the very last thing in the render() function:

Code:

if (forceInsetUpdate)
                {
                    forceInsetUpdate = false;
                    PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().ShowInsetAtLocation(insetRect);
                }

Hi Sub,

How would I get the size of the screen so as to place the inset at the bottom left hand corner?

obviously everyones screens are different sizes so I was wondering if gbpvr has this as a property?

thanks

To PVRX2 the screen size is always 0,0 - 100,100. It doesnt really matter what resolution the user is running.

If you look at the exist skin files, you'll see the fixed rectangle PVRX2 always uses for the lower-left inset window:

<Placement name="InsetRect" loc="3.5,72" size="22,22"/>
